MYTH VS FACT

MYTH: Kegels fix everything. FACT: Kegels may be making your symptoms worse. You may need the opposite (lengthening and relaxing) to reduce tension in the pelvic floor that could be contributing to incontinence (with coughing, sneezing, laughing, or jumping). Come see our pelvic floor therapist to find out what the best option is for you.

Long Loop Band - Core

Utilizing a form of resistance, such as a resistance band, can add extra challenge to various core exercises.

Pallof press: The pallof press will target your ability to resist rotational forces. In the video we are standing on one leg, but you can modify this activity by standing on both in a split stance or normal foot position.

Reverse chop with rotation: A chop motion will target your obliques and your ability to control twisting motions. When performing this exercise, make sure you are not rotating from your hips.

Plank foot taps: It is important to start and stop this exercise in a plank position. While moving through the motion, keep your back flat and reach towards your opposite foot with the hand holding the band.

MOVEMENT MONDAY!!!

SIDE PLANK FROM KNEES
Make sure your shoulders, hips, and knees are in a straight line. If you’d like a challenge, lift your top leg up and down to work your hip abductors.

COPENHAGEN PLANK FROM KNEES
This exercise will target your obliques and your hip adductors. Similarly to the previous exercise, make sure your shoulders, hips, and knees are in a straight line.

BEAR PLANK
You want your hips and knees to be in a 90/90 position, where you are able to maintain a flat back. You can add a little bit of spice with shoulder taps or a forward/backward motion.
