39. Pooping Shouldn’t be a Struggle: Addressing Bowel Health and Constipation with Pelvic Floor Therapy


Listen Later

Something that’s often overlooked but crucial to our health and well-being…



POOPING!



This is a topic we’re both passionate about, because we know how impactful pooping (and, well, not pooping) can be on your everyday life. 



In today’s conversation, we’re discussing why pooping shouldn’t be a struggle. Dealing with constipation (whether you’re a child or adult), can be extremely difficult, and it’s something that should be addressed ASAP. Regular bowel movements MATTER, but they shouldn’t require you to strain, hold your breath, or take forever to happen!



Your pelvic floor and bowel movements are very much connected; pelvic floor therapy can be a total game changer when it comes to improving your bowel health.



Honestly, pooping should be easy. But if it’s not…your pelvic floor *might* need a little TLC, and we can definitely help you with that!



In this episode, we’re covering:

  • Addressing constipation issues right away vs. waiting until they get ‘worse’
  • Why regular bowel movements shouldn’t require straining, breath holding, or take a long time
  • How constipation impacts the pelvic floor
  • Signs that something is ‘off’ with your bowel movements
  • How GI issues can disrupt regular bowel movements
  • Tips to help you with better pooping
