Did you know your pelvic floor is a crucial part of your core?
Think of your core as a supportive team: your transverse abdominis (deep abdominal muscle), diaphragm, multifidus (spinal stabilisers), and pelvic floor all work together to provide stability and strength. When this team is strong and balanced, you’ll move more confidently, prevent injuries, and improve your overall health.
🌟Many people only think about their pelvic floor after pregnancy or with age-related issues, but it’s so much more than that!
A healthy pelvic floor:✔️ Supports your organs (bladder, uterus, bowels).✔️ Prevents leaks during sneezes, laughs, or exercise.✔️ Enhances your posture and balance.✔️ Improves core engagement for everyday movements.
✨ Pilates can help! By focusing on controlled breathing and precise movement, exercises like Pelvic Floor Breathing strengthen and coordinate these muscles. This doesn’t just benefit women—it’s essential for men too!
💡 Try This: Pelvic Floor Breathing 💡1️⃣ Sit or lie down in a comfortable position.2️⃣ As you inhale, imagine filling your belly with air while gently relaxing your pelvic floor.3️⃣ Exhale deeply, and as you do, imagine lifting your pelvic floor muscles gently upwards (like an elevator moving to the next floor).4️⃣ Repeat for 8–10 slow breaths, focusing on control, not force.
Consistency is key! Over time, Pilates will not only improve your core strength but also enhance your quality of life. The good thing about pelvic floor exercises, no-one knows when you're doing them, give them a try today. 🌿
