In this episode, we’re talking about overactive pelvic floors. When your pelvic floor muscles have higher tone and activity than what we’d consider normal and why kegels are the very last thing you should be doing.And while there is no denying that it’s a great thing that women are becoming more informed about their bodies and how important the pelvic floor is, for some women, weakness isn’t the problem. And when we’re all being bombarded with the message to do our pelvic floor exercises every single day, we’re not necessarily being told about symptoms other than weakness and leaking. And so any problem down there at all, we think can be fixed by squeezing and lifting every day. But this could be doing more harm than good.HERE’S WHAT WE COVER:What is an overactive pelvic floor?Commons signs and symptomsCausesTreatmentWhat to expect when working with a women’s health physiotherapistPelvic floor relaxation exercises________________ Read the show notes, including a transcript of this episode with all links and resources HEREDM Rachel on Instagram: @fertilitycoDoes your pelvic floor need a little extra TLC?
