Try this trick to give your abs a treat.

This is a great way to teach yourself how to use your deep abs.

Strengthening the deep ab muscles will help support the pelvic floor muscles.

It’s also good way to safely exercise your core during pregnancy and postpartum

What I do when I have bladder urgency.

This has happened to me recently and I use some of the same strategies that I teach my clients.

What works for me is:
-letting my stomach muscles relax
-taking deep breaths
-thinking about something else

These are some of the same strategies I teach my clients, and they work for me too.

There are more strategies and I teach these to my clients in the clinic and in my online bladder course.

You can preview my bladder course and learn some more strategies for free in my free introductory course.

Or come see me in person or virtually to learn what will help you.

It’s usually not kegels that help in this scenario.

Leaking with running?

Trying to hold a kegel while you run so you don’t leak?

This strategy rarely works because it’s impossible to hold a kegel for that long!

Your leg muscles turn on and off while you run, they aren’t constantly on, so how do we expect our pelvic floor muscles to be turned on that whole time? It just doesn’t work.

So, try a different strategy.

Try NOT to hold your pelvic floor so tight while you run.

I know it sounds scary and counterintuitive but try.

You can run without leaking!

I use this exercise for my own rehab, and I use it with my clients.

I like to test each leg individually to look for differences in strength.

If we only do exercises with two legs, like squats, we can hide a difference in strength. The body is smart and efficient!

Often if there is weakness or tightness more on one side or the other of the pelvic floor, there is also likely an imbalance in the outside bigger muscles.

If we can get the bigger muscles to be more balanced, that will often help the smaller pelvic floor muscles to improve.

I use this exercise as a test and as a rehab exercise for pelvic floor and for hip, knee and ankle injuries.

Give it a try and see if you are similar on each side.

Do you want to run but have bladder leakage when you run?

Try doing these exercises first.

Running without bladder leakage requires much more than just kegels.

Your body has to be able to absorb the impact so that your bladder doesn’t leak.

And we can train that using exercises such as these.

Come see me in person or virtually if you need help learning to run without bladder leakage.

If doing kegels aren't enough, consider practicing longer hold kegels.

There is so much more to pelvic floor health than just doing a bunch of kegels.

Do them mindfully if you are going to do them.

Make sure to contract and relax the muscles, not just contract repeatedly.

Kegels are sometimes part of the solution to pelvic floor problems, and sometimes not.

Most often, it depends 🤪.

See a pelvic floor therapist to figure out if Kegels are right for you or not

10/20/2025

When I work on ab rehab with people, we focus on using the deep core.

In this position you can really see the abs being pulled in toward the spine.

It is not sucking in, but using the deep core to pull everything toward the spine.

This is good for pregnancy, postpartum and anyone wanting to learn to strengthen their core.

Follow along for more.

Does posture affect my pelvic floor?

Maybe.

But it is not the most important thing.

No one can keep a perfect posture for too long.

The best way to address posture is through exercise: strengthening and stretching.
