Exercise tips you need for better pelvic floor health:
- exhale during the hardest part of the movement. So exhale when you stand up from a squat, deadlift or when going overhead. And no breathholding!
- We don’t want a ribcage flare and excessive low back arch when lifting. This puts excess pressure down on pelvic floor.
- Strong glutes help support pelvic floor. Most of us end up always doing exercises in sagittal plane (aka forwards and backwards. Think, squats and hip thrusts). Doing multiplanar glute work (ex: curtsy lunge, lateral band walks) helps keep hips strong and pelvic floor happy.
