The Pelvic Floor is a Trampoline, Not a Biceps

Are we still using the biceps analogy for the pelvic floor?  Trying to explain the length-tension relationship?  There's a better way!

In the Essential Pelvic Strengthening: Not Your Mama's Kegels course I teach we should be explaining the pelvic floor more as a trampoline.

It's a more nuanced analogy that helps explain resting tone, how important the surrounding structure is, and how the pelvic floor behaves in a more involuntary fashion.

Check out the 'sode for why I think it's a better analogy for ourselves and our patients!

If you'd like to learn more about how the pelvic floor is much more like a trampoline - along with standing assessments, how to make ANY exercise a pelvic floor exercise, and move beyond just an Isolationist (Kegel-based) approach - make sure to check out the Essential Pelvic Strengthening  (www.pelvicptrising.com/kegels).  We hope you join us there and join the Pelvic PT 2.0 Movement!
