Discover two simple, dailly practices to treat sexual dysfunction. These tips will improve your sexual function, making intimacy a more satisfying and enjoyable experience.

Do you have trouble reaching orgasm? Is it challenging to become aroused? Or does it take a really long time for you to get aroused? Is sex not as pleasurable as it used to be?

The most likely cause of sexual dysfunction is pelvic floor muscle dysfunction.

“Suck your belly button to your spine” is probably a cue you’ve heard countless time in fitness classes. This cue is often used with the intention of engaging your core muscles and promoting a strong, stable midsection. However, it's time to demystify this cue and explore a more effective approach to core activation.

Kegels are often considered the end-all-be-all of pelvic floor strength. But are Kegels really the key to pelvic floor health? Let’s look at how kegels impact pelvic floor dysfunction and why they might not be the solution you've been led to believe!

“Flatten your back to the floor” is a common cue given by fitness instructors, particularly during ab exercises or “core workouts”. However, this practice of “flattening your back” is outdated and harmful! This is what you should be doing instead to protect your core, spine, and pelvic health.

"Knitting the ribs together" is a common cue you may hear during core workouts, especially in Pilates. However, this cue can actually cause more harm than good! This is what you can do instead to support your core, spine, and pelvic health.

Breathing has a remarkable power to transform the way your core functions and looks! Breathing can also act as an effective ab workout to strengthen your core, slim your waistline, and sculpt your abs. 

How you breathe during resistance training can significantly impact the health of your core, spine, and pelvic floor. Ideally, your breathing will decrease your risk for injury during resistance training.

These are the key principles of core training to build core strength, stabilize your spine, and tone and slim your waist. This effective core and ab workout will also prevent core and pelvic dysfunction!
