Sucking in your stomach? Clenching your glutes? 🚨
If you’re constantly sucking in your abs or clenching your glutes, your body is compensating for instability—not getting stronger.
❌ How This Hurts Your Core & Pelvic Floor:
➡️ Disrupts intra-abdominal pressure – leading to shallow breathing and core weakness.
➡️ Overloads your pelvic floor – constant tension can make your pelvic floor tight, weak, or even contribute to leakage or pain.
➡️ Creates imbalances – glute gripping can cause hip pain, low back tightness, and poor posture.
➡️ Prevents true core activation – gripping isn’t stability; proper muscle coordination is.
✅ How Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Can Help:
✨ Re-train your core and pelvic floor for true strength, not tension.
✨ Improve breathing patterns to support your deep core naturally.
✨ Reduce pain and symptoms like leaking, hip discomfort, or back pain.
✨ Help you move, breathe, and feel better without constant bracing or clenching.
Your core and pelvic floor should work with you, not against you. If this sounds like you, let’s fix it! 💪
