Stop Managing, Start Healing: Why Pelvic Floor Advice is So Confusing — And What to Do Instead
Description
“Don’t lift that!” and “You need to lift weights!”
“Wear a pad,” but also “You must work on bone density.”
“Pop in a tampon to run,” yet “Running is essential exercise.”
The mixed messages around women’s pelvic health are endless — and they’re keeping too many women stuck managing symptoms instead of healing them.
In this episode, I’m calling out the contradictory, symptom-only advice so many women are given — from tampons for prolapse to “just use more lube” to “tell him to go slower.” These suggestions might get you through the moment, but they miss the point entirely.
You’ll learn why these quick fixes keep your pelvic floor stuck in survival mode, how to spot when you’re being told to manage instead of heal, and simple ways to begin rebuilding your pelvic floor from the foundations up.
Think of this as your “couch to 5K” approach for genuine pelvic floor resilience: less for longer, gradual load, whole body awareness and lots of hope.
