Do this and you will FINALLY understand your Pelvic Floor

You have been told to squeeze it, lift it, hold it. What if that is the very thing keeping your pelvic floor stuck?In this episode I am making the case for something that feels completely counter-intuitive: to reconnect your pelvic floor, you have to let it go first. I take you through a simple exercise you can do right now that will show you exactly why lengthening before contracting gives you more power, more range and more strength than holding ever could.I also introduce the four stages of competence as a way of understanding where your pelvic floor is right now, and what it actually means to reach unconscious competence, where your pelvic floor responds without a single conscious thought. That is the goal. And it is possible.This one is especially important if you have been told you have a hypertonic pelvic floor, if Kegels have not worked, or if you have spent years pulling everything in and wondering why nothing has changed.There is also a sneak preview of something new coming very soon for anyone working on incontinence. Be first to hear about it. https://go.clairesparrowpilates.co.uk/free-intro-classJoin the free monthly Pelvic Health Cafe, where no question is off the table: https://go.clairesparrowpilates.co.uk/pelvic-health-cafe-registerWatch on YouTube: https://www.youtube.com/@hopeforyourpelvicfloor Find out more at: https://wholebodypelvichealth.co.uk Follow on Instagram: @hopeforyourpelvicfloorIf this helped you, please subscribe, leave a review and share this episode with someone who needs it.
