When we talk about optimizing health, rarely does pelvic floor health come up. It is overall but has huge implications for both our physical and emotional health.

The intricate network of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue that forms the pelvic floor plays an important role in supporting the body's core. In addition, it regulates bowel and bladder function and even influences sexual satisfaction and overall body confidence.

It is clear that prioritizing pelvic floor health is important for maintaining a strong, resilient, and empowered body.

And It's relevant for both men and women.

I recently had a conversation with Dr. Jennifer Frankoski, a physical therapist who specializes in pelvic floor therapy and orthopedics. She stressed that maintaining good pelvic floor health isn't just for those experiencing problems.
