HYPERTONIC PELVIC FLOOR – TRIGGERS
Anyone who has a hypertonic pelvic floor, or a pelvic floor in a state of tension, knows that it ebbs and flows. And when it’s in pain, there’s usually something that is triggering the fight or flight response. If you can figure out what those triggers are, you’ll be able to navigate your body’s response better.
Common Triggers:
- Stress, ugh!
- Posture – crossing your legs, leaning on one side
- Heavy weight lifting -> I know, total bummer for some of us
- Performing abdominal exercises incorrectly (crunches!)
- Reverse breathing
- Poor foot health
- Weakness in the glutes, legs & core
- Tight & weak hamstrings
To name a few… Some of these things can’t be helped. Some can but it feels like we don’t have enough time in the day to figure out how to address each one.
Let me make it super simple by giving you a couple options.
1) Follow my videos here and implement 15-30 minutes, 4-5X a week to work on your pelvic health.
2) Join me on the mat and let me guide you through the process. Schedule a time you can practice 4X a week. I know that seems like a lot but these patterns need time and consistency. Restore Your Pelvic Floor is a GREAT place to start! Classes are around 30 minutes long, totally doable!
