Back Pain & The Pelvic Floor - The Missing Link?
In this episode I dive into the often-overlooked connection between chronic back pain and the pelvic floor. I explores how a lack of functional strength and engagement in the pelvic floor can contribute to lower back discomfort. Today we explore how the anatomy of the pelvic floor plays a huge role in stabilising the spine, and why traditional approaches to back pain relief often fall short without addressing this critical connection. Whether you’re living with chronic back pain or seeking a deeper understanding of your body’s core systems, this episode offers some simple steps and hope for lasting relief.
