Pelvic Floor information

 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.  

#4 this is for specifically for men 

I like this lady and it's for men 

Also I found this guy for you men 

 

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.
