🚨 Pelvic Floor Fact that surprises almost everyone 🚨
Your pelvic floor doesn’t work in isolation — it responds to your stress, posture, breathing, and even how tightly you clench your jaw.

Here’s what many people don’t realize 👇

• Clench your jaw → your pelvic floor tightens. These muscles are neurologically connected, so tension often travels through the body.
• Pelvic floor issues can affect anyone — not just new moms. Athletes, desk workers, men, teens, and people under chronic stress experience symptoms too.
• An anxious mind can mean a tense pelvic floor. When your nervous system stays in fight-or-flight, these muscles often stay guarded.
• Weak pelvic muscles can influence your nervous system, making your body feel less supported and regulated.
• A weak pelvic floor can contribute to bladder and bowel issues like leaking, urgency, or incomplete emptying.
• Tight pelvic muscles can contribute to lower back pain by changing how your core supports your spine.

Pelvic health isn’t just about strengthening — it’s about balance, coordination, and learning when to relax.

✨ If any of this sounds familiar, don’t ignore it. Save this post, share it with someone who needs to hear it, and reach out to a pelvic floor PT to learn what your body needs.

🚨 Stop Believing These 5 Pelvic Health Myths — They’re Holding You Back! 🚨

1️⃣ Myth: Pelvic floor issues only happen after childbirth
Fact: Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect men and women of all ages.
For men, it may show up as incontinence, pelvic pain, or issues after prostate surgery.

2️⃣ Myth: Everyone should be doing Kegels
Fact: Not everyone needs to strengthen their pelvic floor — many need to relax it.
A professional assessment is key to knowing what your body needs.

3️⃣ Myth: Leaking urine or stool is normal as you age
Fact: It’s common, but it is not normal — and you don’t have to live with it.
Pelvic floor PT can make a huge difference.

4️⃣ Myth: Pelvic pain is just part of life
Fact: Most pelvic pain can improve with proper treatment. You deserve better than “just deal with it.”

5️⃣ Myth: Pelvic floor PT is only for serious problems
Fact: Pelvic PT helps with prevention, early symptoms, and overall wellness — not just severe cases.

✨ Your pelvic health is too important to rely on myths.

If any of these surprised you, save this post and share it with someone who needs the facts. Want personalized guidance? Send us a DM. 💛

Pain, burning, or irritation can indicate pelvic floor or bladder issues.
