Hey Friend!
If you are pregnant or recently had a baby or have been experiencing any amount of urinary incontinence (leaking) or pelvic organ prolapse (heaviness), you have probably been told or heard about doing kegels to strengthen your pelvic floor. Unfortunately, while it is great that pelvic floor dysfunction is becoming more widely discussed, it is also bringing awareness to kegels and how doing them can stop your leaking, pressure and other types of pelvic floor issues. They are all over social media feeding the message that kegels should heal all. This can be problematic for many reasons and unfortunately, can even make your symptoms worse in some cases. So stick around for this week’s episode, where we dive into a kegel, what it is and if it is something you should be doing to heal your pelvic floor/core system or if they may, in fact, be making them worse and what you should be doing instead.
So fill up your water, roll out your mat, and let’s connect!
