Episode 15: Everyone hears about the importance of doing your kegels, but do you know that kegels are only a small part of toning your pelvic floor? And it's not just moms who have pelvic floor dysfunction. Many women don’t decide to do anything about their pelvic floor issues until they have symptoms. They can range from degrees of incontinence to discomfort during sex, a heaviness or bulging in the vagina or rectum to separation of the abdominal muscles with pregnancy- and more! Listen to find out why it’s common for women to pee a little when they sneeze or cough but why this shouldn’t be considered normal. Learn how to contract your pelvic floor muscle properly, keys to proper exercises and how important breath work is in the health of your pelvic floor.
