Our pelvic floor is a group of muscles; forming much like a “hammock”, as well as connective tissues that form this hammock across the base of our pelvis.

These muscles play a crucial role in various ways:

• Supporting the bladder, uterus and bowel.
• Maintaining control over urination and bowel movements
• Facilitating sexual function and sensation
• Providing stability to our core and spine.

So you can see how - not only crucial - but varied the roles are and in such important ways of living day to day. And as such it makes easy to understand then why we need to strengthen this region, focus on posture and core and pelvic floor function.

Come back soon for my next post as I continue on this theme with things you can do/ areas to focus on and solutions for….keeping your Pelvic Floor strong, supple and stable with age.

Remember that caring for the pelvic floor is truly an investment in your independence, dignity and VITALITY! We don’t have to accept what has been the narrative for so long that “this is age”. This isn’t age! With support, awareness and knowledge YOU can build a foundation of strength that carries you forward. Literally and figuratively!

More to come on this important topic; with examples of exercises and areas of focus for you; so you know what to do to keep yours strong!
