Most women are told that leaking, prolapse, or back pain is just because their core is “weak.” Or that they need to do more kegels.

But here’s the truth: the real problem usually isn’t weakness. It’s pressure mismanagement.

In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist, breaks down why pressure management inside your core is the missing piece no one is talking about — and why ignoring it keeps so many women stuck with symptoms like leaking, prolapse, and pain.

If you’ve ever wondered why your exercises, kegels, or “getting stronger” haven’t fully fixed your issues, this episode is going to be a game-changer.

💡 Inside This Episode, You’ll Learn:

• ✅ What core pressure management really is — and why it matters.
  
  
  
  

• ✅ The “canister” model of your core (diaphragm, abdominals, pelvic floor) and how pressure moves.
  
  
  
  

• ✅ How unmanaged pressure leads to leaking, prolapse, diastasis recti, and even back/neck pain.
  
  
  
  

• ✅ The common mistakes women make (like holding your breath, sucking in, or over-bracing).
  
  
  
  

• ✅ Practical strategies to start improving pressure management right now.
  
  
  
  

🌸 Why This Matters:

You don’t need endless kegels or a flatter stomach to heal. You need awareness of how pressure moves through your core — and how to manage it so your body can finally work with you, not against you. Once you understand pressure, you unlock freedom in movement, strength, and confidence.
