We are already on Day 4! Today we continue our talk on relieving tension to be able to get a good quality inhale to connect with our Pelvic Floor. A good quality inhale consist of getting the Diaphragm moving downwards and lengthening and releasing the Pelvic Floor (a muscle needs to lengthening BEFORE it can contract). The key to this is getting the rib cage moving and thus getting more back body movement, because our diaphragm or out breathing muscle is located below our rib cage. And guess what by getting more back body movement we can relieve upper back and neck pain as well, win win ... I will tell you how in this episode.

In this episode we will be Relieving Tension to be able to get a quality 360 Breathing and Manage Intra-Abdominal Pressure to Power Over POP (Pelvic Organ Prolapses). We can hold tension in our Pelvic Floor muscles subconsciously and by doing this we make our Pelvic Floor Dysfunction symptoms worse. Let's bring awareness to this tension and actively release it, then give it permission to stay lengthened. After we will work to strengthen within our new found length and flexibility to permanently minimize our symptoms like urinary leakage, abdominal heaviness, bulging and pelvic pain by Progressive Strengthening. This is the FUN PART! Total Body Strengthen helps to support the Pelvic Floor so it stops overworking and being too fatigued to do it's jobs.
