Hi Everyone!
This will be short, ha ha ha. I have a ton of things to get done today, since I slept most of yesterday away. Ya know lupus/sjogren's.
I will say that my post yesterday about pelvic floor prolapse brought some very interesting comments and emails. I am thrilled that so many now want to start exercises for prolapse and prevention.
I'm linking some of the youtubes that I like, and that my PT and gyno have approved. Let's make the above statement my disclaimer. You all know I am NOT a doctor, or Physical Therapist. I am a licensed retired Vet Tec though. LOL
As I do with everything, I have researched this and if you need any information please don't hesitate to email me here.
And always talk to your doctor.
Here are the top 3 things you should start with.
#1 Breathing Most of us do it wrong.
#2 Posture Most of us do it wrong
#3 Lifting Most of us do it wrong.
I really couldn't find a good video for lifting.
I'm in the kitchen a lot and it used to be nothing to stretch over the counter to lift something. No no no. Engage your core and pelvic floor, inhale. As you exhale, slide the item close to your body then lift. Do not hold your breath.
This sounds like a lot. However, once you are aware it dose become second nature within days.
I really don't want to hear any one say they don't have time. It only takes a few minutes a day to learn the correct way to protect your pelvic floor.
I hope this has helped you to get started.

Good work there! Definitely worth it right into old age.

ReplyDeleteGreat post, Nicole. Thank you!
thank you!
ReplyDeleteInteresting and helpful videos. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteI've never thought of this but it's really good advice.
ReplyDeleteExcellent advice!
ReplyDeleteI was happy to learn that I already breathe the correct way. That came from a voice class that I took. The teacher was really into breathing correctly and using the FULL power of your lungs. The lungs go all the way to your lower back. (I didn't know that before her class.)
ReplyDeleteThanks for all the links. I will be starting some male kegels.
Thank you so much for sharing this ❤️
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing this! :)
ReplyDeleteWow thank you!
ReplyDeleteOlá minha querida amiga Nicole. Obrigado pelas dicas. Infelizmente ficamos em posições erradas do nosso corpo e quase todo dia. Obrigado pela dica.
ReplyDeleteHi, Nicole! I just returned home from the gym after a good workout with my trainer Julie. I really believe in strength training. Kudos to you for sharing this information and for reminding people to talk with their doctors. I have to focus on #1, #2, and #3 all the time. My body can find more ways to do something easier and wrong. Good luck as you work to ease your symptoms for lupus and sjogren's! Take care!
ReplyDeleteGracias, me resulta muy interesante. Un abrazo
ReplyDeleteThanks, Nicole. I'm catching up on blogs after five days without a computer. So, much read the other post. But I've heard about pelvic floor and interested in learning more. I'm bookmarking this.
