What is your pelvic floor and how do you access it? Why would you want to access it? Do you experience pelvic pain, prolapsed organs, leaking when laughing, running, jumping or sneezing? Perhaps you’ve had a recent pregnancy, abdominal separation (diastasis recti), been through menopause, or you are just curious about this part of your body. Maybe you’ve not had children or you are a teen and experiencing symptoms.
Are you squeezing your pelvic floor and/or tucking your bum?
Is your only weapon a kegel? Would you like to learn the new science behind kegels? What is a kegel? What is a proper kegel? Come learn this and more!
