Activating Your Pelvic Floor

The ability to properly load your pelvic floor is crucial for athletic performance, but it is also very important for postpartum, post abdominal surgery and incontinence issues.

Excellent video. Are the moves suitable for postpartum recovery as well? (After vaginal birth)
Thanks

[@drbeaubeard]

Yes

Super stuff.
Does this change for more hyper mobile folk? So pelvic eccentric movement tissues seems complex; is this floor lifting but not compressing. Is it’s automatic, not requiring intentional focus like a kegal?

[@drbeaubeard]

This type of drill creates a reflexive eccentric load on the pelvic floor musculature. Doesn't really change based on mobility level.

@@drbeaubeard So you don't have to focus on pelvic floor, since it is reflexive? It goes with abdominal wall automatically? Thank you for your videos btw.

@@annareiterova812 by focusing on breath/IAP you are focusing on pelvic floor, also...only two of the PV muscles are of conscious control.
