141- Restore Your Knees to Restore Your Core// Why your pelvic floor depends on what’s happening below the belt

from Pelvic Floor, Core & More | Healing Beyond Kegels: Core Rehab, Prenatal Fitness, Birth Prep, Postpartum Recovery, Nervous System Regulation, and Holistic Self-Care for Moms · host Dr. Desiree Cassell | Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist, Women’s Health Specialist, Strong and Fit Momma

🌀 You’re doing the breathing. You’re doing the bracing. But your knees? Still unstable, stiff, or sore? That’s not just a leg-day problem — it’s a pelvic floor one. In today’s episode, I’m walking you through how your knees and pelvic floor are deeply connected, and why knee weakness or misalignment could be the real reason you’re still leaking, feeling pressure, or can’t feel strong — no matter how many kegels you’ve done. 💬 “Your knees are messengers, babe. And your pelvic floor is listening.” This is the conversation most pelvic floor programs don’t include — and that’s exactly why I created RESTORE. Because healing your core is about way more than kegels and crunches. It’s a full-body recalibration. 🌿 In this episode, we cover: Why knee pain or weakness might be causing your pelvic floor symptoms The chain reaction between your foot, hip, knee, and pelvic floor What “leaking with squats” is really telling you about your alignment The 3 movement patterns that can build real strength & support Why your breath, glutes & feet matter more than your crunch count 🧠 You’ll walk away with: A deeper understanding of your kinetic chain The real reason sit-ups aren’t solving your symptoms Simple cues for building knee-to-core coordination What to do before you go back to running or jumping   ✨ Next Steps: 📲 Download the Pelvic Floor, Core & More App →  for guided breathwork, mobility, and strength progressions you can do at home. - Download PCM App iTunes: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/pelvic-floor-core-more/id6740750561  - Download PCM App Google Play: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.pqw8e051gua.pmh8skrtsapp&pcampaignid=web_share 💎 Join RESTORE, my 12-week program that walks you step by step through pelvic floor and core healing — so you can stop leaking, reduce prolapse symptoms, and feel strong again.  https://balancedmomtality.com/restore  🎧 Don’t forget to subscribe to Pelvic Floor, Core & More so you never miss an empowering episode about pelvic floor health, core strength, and whole-body healing.   👉 If this episode resonated with you, share it with a mom friend who needs to hear that healing is possible.
