We’ve been told for years to "squeeze those glutes," but many of us have taken that advice into our daily lives—standing in line, washing dishes, or even sitting at our desks with a constant "clench."

Why this matters for your pelvic floor: Your glutes and your pelvic floor are neighbors. When you chronically grip your glute muscles, it puts your pelvis into a tucked position (the "un-butt").

This constant tension:
✔️ 𝗦𝗵𝗼𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗻𝘀 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗽𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗳𝗹𝗼𝗼𝗿: Making it tight, weak, and less able to absorb impact.
✔️ 𝗜𝗻𝗰𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘀𝗲𝘀 𝗽𝗿𝗲𝘀𝘀𝘂𝗿𝗲: Leading to higher rates of urgency and leakage.
✔️ 𝗦𝗵𝘂𝘁𝘀 𝗱𝗼𝘄𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗰𝗼𝗿𝗲: You can’t get a true 360° breath if your pelvis is locked in a grip.

The Fix: Next time you’re standing at the sink or waiting for your coffee, do a "body scan." Are your glutes tight? Let them go. Think about widening your "sit bones" and letting your pelvis find neutral.

Optimal health isn't just about the strength you build—it’s about the tension you release.

Stop "Just" Belly Breathing. 🛑

We often hear that deep breathing is "belly breathing," but as we see in this assessment with Dr. Anthony, that’s only part of the puzzle.

What is 𝟯𝟲𝟬° 𝗕𝗿𝗲𝗮𝘁𝗵𝗶𝗻𝗴? It’s not just the belly moving forward.

For an Optimal Pelvic Floor, your breath needs to expand:
✅ Into the ribs (lateral expansion)
✅ Into the belly (anterior expansion)
✅ Into the back (posterior expansion)

Why it matters: If your ribs don’t widen, the pressure from your breath has nowhere to go but down onto your pelvic floor. 360° expansion creates a "piston" effect that allows your pelvic floor to stretch and strengthen naturally with every breath.

Check yourself: Place your hands on the sides of your ribs. Do they push your hands out when you inhale? Let us know! 👇

Pelvic floor health starts with movement!

Here are 3 simple yet powerful exercises to strengthen and lengthen your pelvic floor:
1️⃣ 𝗣𝗲𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗰 𝗧𝗶𝗹𝘁𝘀: Loosen up your tailbone ligaments by lifting and tucking your tailbone. Imagine pulling a string for extra control!
2️⃣ 𝗖𝗵𝗶𝗹𝗱’𝘀 𝗣𝗼𝘀𝗲: Lengthen your pelvic floor muscles by sitting back between your knees and reaching forward. Don’t forget those deep breaths! 🧘♀️
3️⃣ 𝗖𝗮𝘁-𝗖𝗼𝘄𝘀: Coordinate your spine and pelvis by alternating between lifting your head and tailbone, then tucking them.

These exercises are perfect for improving flexibility, coordination, and overall pelvic health. 💪

POV: You were told that "peeing a little" after kids or during heavy lifts is just part of the deal. ❌

Let’s clear the air: just because it’s common doesn’t mean it’s optimal. Your pelvic floor is a functional part of your core—if it’s not showing up for you, it’s sending a signal. 🚩

At Optimal Health, we don't just "do kegels" (in fact, sometimes that makes it worse!). We get to the root of the tension. Ready to stop worrying about where the nearest bathroom is?

It’s not just "getting older"—it’s your pelvic floor.

𝗣𝗲𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗲𝗻𝗼𝗽𝗮𝘂𝘀𝗲 brings a lot of changes, but these five signs are often the ones nobody warns you about. As hormone levels shift, the tissues in your pelvic bowl can lose elasticity and strength, leading to:
✔️ Heavy periods that disrupt your daily rhythm
✔️ Vaginal dryness and painful intimacy
✔️ Bladder changes, like frequent trips or unexpected leaks

At Optimal Health, we specialize in helping you navigate these transitions. You don’t have to "just deal" with it.

Therapy can help restore tissue health and muscle control so you can feel like yourself again. 🌸

Is your "core" routine missing its floor?

Imagine your core as a canister. Your diaphragm is the lid, your abs/back are the sides, and your pelvic floor is the base. If the base isn't stable, the "walls" (your lower back and hips) have to work double time to keep you upright.

That "tight hip" feeling that won't go away? It might actually be a pelvic floor shout for help.

If you’ve been doing Kegels but aren’t sure if you’re doing them right — you’re not alone.

Pelvic floor 𝘴𝘵𝘳𝘦𝘯𝘨𝘵𝘩 starts with awareness and control, not squeezing harder.

This simple seated cue helps you learn how to:
• relax your pelvic floor
• gently lift with your breath
• avoid over-clenching your glutes or core

When you coordinate your breathing with the pelvic floor, everything works better — from stability and posture to bladder control and comfort.

Small, controlled movements make a big difference.
Save this and come back to it anytime. 💜
