Your pelvic floor isn’t just one muscle, it’s a whole hammock of muscles sitting at the base of your pelvis.
It works as part of your deep core system alongside your diaphragm, deep abdominals (transverse abdominis), and deep spinal muscles.
So how do you actually activate it correctly?
Think about two sensations at once:
🚽 Like you’re stopping yourself from weeing mid-flow
💨 Like you’re holding in wind
That combination of the squeeze AND the lift is your pelvic floor engaging.
It should feel like a gentle drawing up and in, not a clenching or bearing down.
