Pelvic floor and Opps moments

Let’s Talk Pelvic Floor (Because It Matters More Than You Think)Your pelvic floor does a lot more than most women realise — and yet it’s one of the most neglected parts of the body, especially in midlife.It supports your bladder, bowel and uterus.It affects continence, posture, core strength and intimacy.And hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can weaken pelvic floor muscles if they’re not supported properly.Leaking when you laugh, sneeze or exercise isn’t “just part of getting older”.A heavy feeling, discomfort or reduced core stability aren’t things you should ignore.In this episode, I’m talking honestly about why pelvic floor health matters, what happens to these muscles as hormones change, and why how you train them is just as important as that you train them.I’ve also included a guided pelvic floor workout — because guessing, clenching or overdoing it isn’t the answer.This is about learning to activate, strengthen and relax the pelvic floor correctly, safely and effectively.Pelvic floor work isn’t about embarrassment or fear.It’s about confidence, strength and long-term health.When your pelvic floor is supported, everything else works better.This episode is for every woman who wants to move with confidence, feel supported from the inside out and stop putting this conversation off.— EmmaThe Menopause MentorSend us Fan MailThank you for listening to The Menopause Mentor Podcast.I’m Emma Watts, Award winning Menopause Practitioner, Clinical Nutritionist & multi Award winning Personal trainer, sharing clear, evidence-based conversations to help you better understand your body, your health, and your choices through perimenopause and menopause.These episodes are for education and support only and are not a substitute for personalised medical advice.
