Your Pelvic Floor Through The Ages: Adolscence, Matrescence, and Menopause

We are kicking off season TWO with a four part deep dive all about YOUR pelvic floor: Why you have one, what you can expect at each stage of womanhood, how it works, and what this untapped physical and energetic powerhouse between your legs has to offer.   This episode is part two and explores the different ways we can relate to, utilize, and care for our undercarriage from adolescence to matrescence all the way through menopause.    In this episode.   How hormone shifts and fluctuates affect muscle function in the pelvic floor Why I consider puberty the first adolescence, matrescence the second, and menopause the third we will experience in our lives Important things to consider in each stage of life Why we need to start talking about it all now I created Pilates For Your Privates, online courses marrying pelvic health and the Pilates method because we deserve to know what's going on in and with our bodies and how to leverage our power for our own benefit. I created these courses before my son was born (and tore me in two) and it is because of this work I made a full, uncomplicated recovery from my fourth degree tear. My OBGYN, physical therapist, and Urogynecologist confirmed this fact.    Where you are looking to start learning about your body and build a strong foundation, you're pregnant, or postpartum Pilates For Your Privates and I have your back, your front, and your undercarriage.    If you're picking up what I'm laying down…   Follow, subscribe, rate, review, and SHARE this episode!   If you prefer watching episodes, you can now do that on YouTube!   And don't forget to check out my SubStack where we talk about all the things we're not supposed to talk about.    Learn more at www.alissaalter.com   Follow along on IG @alissaalter   As always I've got your back, I've got your front, and I've got your undercarriage.
