You may have a tight pelvic floor if….

✔️You go pee “just in case”
✔️You’re always clenching your glutes
✔️You carry tension in your lower abdomen or inner thighs
✔️You experience cramps, tailbone pain or painful intercourse
✔️You have a hard time fully relaxing during deep breathing
✔️You have chronic low back pain
✔️You feel a sense of urgency to pee or lack of complete emptying
✔️You experience constipation

If your pelvic floor is clenched, overactive, or tight just to get you through the day…

It’s not “strong”, it’s working overtime. A constantly overworked muscle leads to a fatigued muscle

You need strength AND relaxation. Chronic tension can lead to poor coordination and therefore lead to pelvic floor symptoms

So how do you treat a tight pelvic floor?

Nervous system regulation aka down regulation. Your brain needs to feel safe to let your body fully relax

Proper breathing mechanics. Learn how to use 360 breathing, relax on the inhale and coordinate of the diaphragm and pelvic floor

Strength progression. Full body movements that support the pelvic floor
