Why we squeeze our pelvic floor on the out breath to enhance the strength…
When we breathe in:
⭐️ The diaphragm moves downwards
⭐️ The pelvic floor lowers slightly
⭐️ The muscles between the ribs move the ribs outwards
⭐️ This increases the space within the chest cavity
⭐️ The lungs expand in to this space filling with air
✨So there is a downward pressure on the pelvic floor on a breath in ✨
On a breath out:
⭐️The diaphragm rises up
⭐️The pelvic floor moves upwards with a gentle contraction
⭐️The ribs move inwards
⭐️We breathe air out
✨So there is naturally an upward contraction on the pelvic floor on an EXHALE✨
✨We consciously engage our pelvic floor during this natural contraction on the exhale to enhance and optimise the strength and control effectively✨
