Exactly what you need to do to improve pelvic floor prolapse/weakness, have a strong, functional pelvic floor, and keep it strong and functional forever.

What you need to do is SOOOOOOoooooo much more than squeezes and exercises. Yes, squeezes and exercises are part of the process of healing and strengthening your pelvic floor. But you also need to understand the pressure in your core—how this pressure pushes into your pelvic floor during different aspects of your life—and how to manage it.

I have put together a checklist of all the areas you need to be working on to heal and strengthen your pelvic floor, whether you have a prolapse, suffer from incontinence, are healing after having a baby, or already have a strong pelvic floor and want to keep it that way.

There isn't one area that is more important than the others. We want to ensure you are looking after each area.

Area 1: Improve your breathing pattern

Area 2: Improve your posture and movement patterns

Area 3: Manage increased pressure during activities

Area 4: Build strength

Area 5: Get better bathroom habits

Area 6: Manage stress and emotions

I talk through each of these areas in this podcast.

There are two types of devices that you can use for your pelvic floor recovery.

Both you insert into your vagina but one gives you feedback on your squeezes, where as the other releases electrical impulses into your vaginal muscles to stimulate them.

But are they useful for pelvic floor recovery? Should you use them or avoid them?

I am covering all of this in this podcast episode. You will leave this episode knowing whether this is something you would like to invest in or not.

If you haven't yet watched my Pelvic Floor Workshop - You neeeeeeed to! It has everything in it that you need to know to recover your pelvic floor after having a baby. It is all the information that you should have got in your postnatal period but didn't. Instead you just got handed a leaflet - if you were lucky.
