In this series, I'm sharing my clinically proven 3-step method to strengthen your pelvic floor:
⭐⭐⭐ Step 1 (THIS VIDEO) ⭐⭐⭐ - We have to retrain the brain and pelvic floor to coordinate together with breath work and lower abdominal activation in different stationary positions. This is THE FOUNDATION that we then take into movement.
♦ Step 2 - We pair the foundational training from STEP 1 with body weight movements to further strengthen your pelvic floor for real life activities.
♦ Step 3 - Finally, we pair movements with WEIGHTS. And I’m not talking 2lbs dumbbells, I’m talking real word weight that’s equivalent to a bag of groceries, a toddler, or a carseat....video coming soon!

Hello 👋 plz help me I can’t understand I have weak pelvic
Should we squeeze the pelvic while exhale?

[@movewithDrChris]

exhale = contract the pelvic floor
Inhale = lengthen the pelvic floor

[@laimeelee8250]

@@movewithDrChris does it mean we contract & hold the pelvic floor up while exhaling or after exhaling

[@movewithDrChris]

@@laimeelee8250 the pelvic floor should contact and lift through your exhale and lengthen and lower as you inhale. If you’re breathing effectively your diaphragm will cue your pelvic floor to contract and lengthen as I described automatically. However, if you don’t feel that, then help your body learn this by manually inviting your pelvic floor to do so when you inhale/exhale. With mindful practice over time this will eventually become automatic again
