Showing our love for our military kiddos during April’s #monthofthemilitarychild 💜
Military life is a consistent with change and “hurry up and wait” - but while those might SEEM like a rough time, our military kids are consistently surrounded by new adventures, experiencing new cultures and creating new friendships and families across the states (even globally!)
As a community rooted in the military, we are so thankful to have affiliates by SO MANY military bases! That one hour happy hour is constant with your PCS move too 🥹🫶🏼
We want to see your old SLAM photos! Go back through your camera roll to find those baby pics 🥰 Tag us in your post or stories AAAAND tag the location of where you were SLAMMIN! Or post them in the FB comments!

Ankle Mobility for Pelvic Floor Function
Ankle mobility has a huge impact on pelvic floor function, specifically the ability to dorsiflex to lengthen the back half of the pelvic floor during squats, lunges, and gait (as a few examples).
Try this ankle mobility assessment and drill!

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!

Mix it up!
Variety is key! Especially when it comes to high rep workouts.

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 ;)

Stretching considerations
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?

Squat form
Here's one of my favorite squat drills to help tune into positioning, mechanics, and breath strategy to move through squats feeling great!

Rows!
Rows are a great exercise to work on the relationship between the shoulder blades/scaps and rib cage.
You can work on how the scaps move on the rib cage or work on thoracic rotation with your row: both are beneficial!
Under Pressure!
Pressure gets a bad rap when it comes to common pelvic health issues such as prolapse, incontience, and diastasis recti, but it's not the pressure that's the issue...it's how the pressure is distributed!
Let's dive into some nuances of pressure and how it impacts the core and pelvic floor!

Physical and mental health: 2 peas in a pod
We can't separate our physical body from our mental/emotional/spiritual body. When one entity is thriving, they both benefit (runner's high, anyone?). When one of them is suffering, they both feel it.
Recognizing the physical and mental red flags is important in finding help. You are not alone ❤

Rotation to Balance Rotation
We all have asymmetries in our bodies steaming from anatomical structure (example: asymmetrical diaphragm) and movement patterns (example: hand dominance).
When we think we are "straight on", maybe we aren't due to these rotational asymmetries! Let's dig in...
Single Leg Stance
Finding stability in single leg stance activities makes our pelvic floor very happy ;)
Muscle we should be using in single leg stance: abs, hamstrings, inner thighs, and glute medius.
Try some hemi kneel exercises to help you train your single leg stance stability!
