How To Breathe For Improving Pelvic Floor Strength
Did you know, the way you breathe can improve or compromise the function and strength of the pelvic floor?
Why? Because the function of the pelvic floor relies on the flow on the inner core muscles which includes the pelvic floor, diaphragm, transverse abdominals and multifidus muscles up the spine. They form an inner canister, and are responsible for:
Stability
Anticipating movement
Maintaining continence
Hold in the pelvic organs (bladder, uterus, rectum)
Sexual function
When the flow of breath is compromised, it impacts the function of the inner core. This results in pelvic floor dysfunction. Common symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction include:
Incontinence (stress and urge incontinence)
Pelvic pain
Low back pain
Diastasis recti
Pelvic organ prolapse
Hypertonic pelvic floor or vaginismus
The inner core can be compromised by:
Posture and alignment
Sedentary lifestyle (sitting for long periods of time)
Pregnancy
Age
Overweight or obesity
Heavy lifting
Trauma in the body
Stress
etc...
The first thing taught in exercise rehabilitation for pelvic floor dysfunction is how to breathe. In this video I show you a technique to get the inner core flowing again, giving those pelvic floor muscles a chance to start naturally functioning again. That's step one to eliminating symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction. Next comes the movement and pelvic floor contraction piece ... watch for more on this in future videos.
