Four Things You Can Start Today – Even If You’re Not Ready to Start With Us
If you’ve been thinking about pelvic floor therapy but aren’t quite ready to schedule your first visit yet, that’s okay — there are plenty of simple things you can start doing today to support your pelvic floor from home.
Here are four small (but powerful) habits to try:
1. Exhale with Effort
Whenever you lift something, roll over in bed, or stand up from a chair — exhale. That simple breath out helps take pressure off your pelvic floor and can make a big difference in reducing symptoms like heaviness or leaking.
2. Strong Glutes = Healthy Pelvic Floor
Your hips and glutes are just as important as your core when it comes to pelvic floor strength. Building strong glutes supports your pelvis, helps with posture, and keeps your pelvic floor muscles working in harmony with the rest of your body.
3. Be Kind to Your Bladder
Skip the “just in case” trips, don’t push to pee, and make sure you’re drinking enough water throughout the day. These small changes help your bladder and pelvic floor stay in sync and prevent unhelpful habits that can sneak up over time.
4. Avoid Clenching
If you catch yourself tensing your shoulders or clenching your jaw, there’s a good chance your pelvic floor is tightening, too. Try to check in with your body throughout the day — a quick deep breath and relaxed posture can help release that hidden tension.
When you’re ready for a little more support, we’re here for you! Our team can help personalize a plan to strengthen and balance your pelvic floor so you can feel more comfortable, confident, and in control.
