The pelvic floor should support your ability to move between strength and flexibility, boundaries and openness, effort, and relaxation. For example: if you spend a lot of time clenching due to stress, you inhibit your breath and nervous system, which literally puts pressure on your pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is very emotional. If we have concerns about aging, prolapse, episiotomies, many times we have a sense of feeling damaged as a woman. My approach to pelvic floor healing is with kindness, allowing the inherent feminine resilience. With pelvic floor therapy, how you approach the exercises can be as important as the exercises themselves. It is not about pushing through; it is an opportunity to let go and be present.
