4 Things I Don't Do as a Pelvic PT
🛑 4 Things I Never Do as a Pelvic Physical Therapist! 🛑
1️⃣ Go pee “just in case” 🚫
This habit can train your bladder to feel the urge to go more often than necessary, leading to overactive bladder symptoms.
2️⃣ Strain to have a bowel movement 💪
Straining puts excessive pressure on your pelvic floor muscles, which can cause or worsen issues like pelvic organ prolapse or hemorrhoids.
3️⃣ Hold my breath during activities 🏋️♀️
Holding your breath increases intra-abdominal pressure, which can weaken the pelvic floor over time and contribute to issues like incontinence.
4️⃣ Limit my fluid intake 💧
Dehydration can lead to concentrated urine, which irritates the bladder and increases the risk of urinary tract infections.
Save this for later!
Your pelvic health matters! Take care of your body the right way with these simple but powerful habits. 💖
