You’ve likely heard of the pelvic floor, but what do you really know about it? For instance, are you aware that having a weak pelvic floor isn’t the only thing to be concerned about? An overly tight one can cause problems, too. In this episode, we break down what the pelvic floor actually is, why it matters at every stage of life and how it affects more than just childbirth or aging. From bladder control and exercise to pain, prevention and simple daily habits, it’s time to demystify this commonly overlooked, but critically important, part of the body.
