CONTINENCE: For Women

Unlike incontinence, continence involves maintaining control over our bodily functions. For women, this control is largely dependent on the strength of our pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor is the only thing supporting our internal organs from below. Women are often advised to do pelvic floor exercises to enhance their ability to hold urine. However, many of us focus on vaginal contractions, which don't directly help in controlling the flow of urine. No matter how strong these contractions are, they won’t save you in moments of urgency.

Instead, here's a more effective approach:

1. Identify your p***c bone and your belly button.
2. Draw an imaginary straight line between the two.
3. Visualize a straw along this line and focus on squeezing the muscle as if you’re squashing the straw.

This muscle contraction, which may feel like zipping up, is located at the front of your body and can help stop urine flow during urgent moments.

Try this technique. Our bodies are quite amazing, but we're not always taught how to use them in ways that enhance well-being and maintain proper anatomical alignment. With the right techniques, our muscles can work as they should.

For those of you who are unsure where Korrahill Scout Hall is, here's a few images. Right next to Corrimal Memorial Park, plenty of parking and a nice quiet place.

So excited about this qualification. Help people make their bodies a happier place to live. If you have pain and discomfort, consider your bones and their alignment ..... Muscles need to adapt to skeletal alignment, not pull the bones out of alignment. If you want to explore your areas of tightness, weakness or discomfort, send me a message.

Often as we mature, activities we once enjoyed may not be as enjoyable because of pain either during or after the activity. Running, golf, tennis, etc can be one of those activities which can general muscular discomfort and pain. Corrective exercise may assist you to return to previously loved activity with new vigour and ability.

The initial consult is free and takes about an hour. It includes a verbal and visual assessment of the alignment of your bones and identifies any misalignments or weaknesses. If you decide from the assessment that you want to follow through with corrective exercises, we can set up a program of 1/2 hour sessions to bring the body back into alignment

Copied from a friend's post, and so true.
My mother always said getting older was a privilege denied to many.
To all of my female friends from 55
years and up... most of us are going through a challenging phase of our lives. We're at that age where we see wrinkles, gray hair or no hair, and extra pounds. We've run households, had careers, raised families, paid the bills, dealt with sickness, sadness, grief, and everything else life has assigned us. We are survivors... we are warriors in the quiet... we are Women...aged like a classic car or a fine wine. Even if our bodies are not what they once were, they carry our histories, our souls, our courage, and our strength. We should never feel bad about getting older. It's a privilege that is denied to so many.
Enjoy every minute. ❤️
