For many of us we hadn’t thought much about our pelvic floor before becoming pregnant… then all of a sudden we hear friends, mothers and midwifes talking about pelvic floor and that “you must do your pelvic floor exercises”.
But what is a pelvic floor exercise and why is it so important.
Many of us hear about the pelvic floor squeeze and “Kegal” exercise but did you know that your pelvic floors can actually get really tight during pregnancy?
The worry of labour, stress and physical load of being pregnant can actually cause your pelvic floor (and surrounding tissues) to become tight and over active… so its not all about strengthening a weak pelvic floor, tightness can contribute to pain down below too.
When you are constantly holding your muscles tight they will naturally get tired and then when put under extra stress (such as a cough sneeze of good old fashion belly laugh) we actually are at risk of leaking more! Sound familiar?… it is common during pregnancy to leak but there is a lot we can do to improve it and it shouldn’t be something we put up with.
So whilst strengthening your a pelvic floor is really important so is the relaxation of it.
At FLY Mama we teach you gentle stretches, breathing exercises, correct pelvic floor activation exercises and even some self massage demonstration of your legs and stomach area.
We talk through the benefits of perineal massage to help best prepare your body for labour and beyond.
Finally something that makes FLY Mama so unique is that we combine this with education and practical sessions to help regulate your central nervous system which in turn can help you to relax your pelvic area.
