Support your core & floor through the holidays!
Holidays are stressful! And pelvic floor issues commonly respond to that stress with ramping up symptoms.
Here's a practical and fun way you can support your core system!
Breathing Reset
Breathing is a direct link to your nervous system. Here's one way you can use it to calm and reset your nervous system to feel more energized, less stressed, and more centered.
Try in different positions, before/after workouts, or whenever you're feeling unregulated ;)
Warm up for walking/running!
Here's an example of a warm up that incorporates connecting front body, rotation, and single leg stance while being mindful of breath and positioning to prep you for a walk/run!

Load your hips, not your back!
How we absorb impact can contribute to joint pains and pressure management.
Our hips are designed to absorb impact/load, but many times the spine is given the task due to positioning and body mechanics.
Try these exercises to work on loading your hips!

An exercise to master!
This is a common exercise I give my runner/walker clients, especially if they have pelvic girdle or hip pain.
To be stable in single leg stance, you need to feel your inner thighs and obliques pull your body to the side you're standing on. This is more than musculoskeletal...it is very neurological.
Try this exercise to train your brain to improve your movement patterns ;)

There are many types of stretching...active, passive, ballistic to name a few.
What should mother athletes consider when they choose if and how they stretch?
