Incontinence, Body Movement, & Pelvic Floor Health with Michael Hughes

Episode title:​ Incontinence, Body Movement, & Pelvic Floor Health with Michael Hughes Episode summary introduction:​ Body movement is not just going to a gym or going out for a run — it is so much more. Each and every day you are moving your body and training for something. Maybe it is to be a better sitter at your computer or a better squatter as you sit and stand from your chair. It's true that the right body movements can greatly enhance your life. It's also true that too much body movement in certain activities can greatly unbalance your body and your health. This is especially true for pelvic floor health and incontinence.  In this episode, join Michael Hughes, founder of Gymnazo, as he discusses why being more present is life transforming, how breathwork is the first activity to focus on for ab development, why good old body movement is so important, root causes of incontinence and pelvic floor decline, movement techniques to improve them, why postpartum women are so susceptible to pelvic floor health issues, and so much more!
