Overactive Pelvic Floor – When Kegels Do More Harm Than Good
Not every pelvic floor issue is about weakness - and kegels aren’t always the answer.
In this episode, I break down the symptoms and causes of an overactive pelvic floor and explain what to do if you suspect your muscles are too tight, not too weak.
What we cover:
- What is an overactive pelvic floor?
- Common signs and symptoms (and how they differ from weak pelvic floor symptoms)
- Causes, from chronic stress to postpartum recovery
- Why kegels can make things worse
- What treatment looks like with a women’s health physio
- A simple pelvic floor relaxation exercise you can try today
This episode is a must-listen for anyone trying to conceive naturally, improve natural fertility, or simply feel more in control of their pelvic health.
