✨ Your Breath = Your Pelvic Floor’s Best Friend ✨
Most people breathe shallowly into their chest… but your pelvic floor works best when you breathe low, wide, and deep—a technique called 360° diaphragmatic breathing. 🫁
This simple practice helps:
🔹 Strengthen your pelvic floor
🔹 Reduce tension + pressure
🔹 Improve bladder control
🔹 Support posture + core stability
🔹 Calm your nervous system (bye, stress!)
👇 Here’s how to try it:
1️⃣ Get into position: Lie down or sit tall. Two variations: One hand on your belly, one on your chest, making sure your stomach is expanding vs chest with inhale. Can also place hands on side ribs to feel for lateral expansion with inhale.
2️⃣ Inhale through your nose (4–6 sec): Feel your belly, ribs, and low back expand outward.
🧠 Cue: “Breathe wide—not high.”
3️⃣ Exhale slowly through pursed lips (6–8 sec): Ribs narrow, and belly goes back to resting.
4️⃣ Repeat for 6–8 breaths.
