Episode 17: Why Kegels Won't Solve All Your Pelvic Floor Issues, and What To Do Instead

Have you ever beat yourself up for not doing your Kegels? Did you know that doing kegels may not help solve whatever pelvic floor problems you are experiencing AND can sometimes make them worse? Before you do more kegels, listen to this episode! 

Today, we are going over what a kegel contraction actually is, where the idea came from, and why kegels are not the magic fix for pelvic floor issues such as incontinence. Yes, even if your provider told you to do them.

Be sure to share this episode with your mom friends and family members - there is a lot of bad information floating around about kegels!

We will have 3 different types of episodes and one will drop each week on Mondays!

  1. Movement and education

  2. Mom life struggles and experiences

  3. Business ownership

Take us for a walk, listen while you tackle some chores, or let us join you as you hustle your crew around town! Be sure to follow this podcast, share it with some mom friends, and let us know what you want to hear us chat about by connecting with us!
