Discover how pelvic floor physical therapy helps women in all stages of life overcome pelvic issues, such as leaking, pain, and prolapse symptoms.
If you’ve been told to “just do Kegels” to fix your pelvic floor, you’re not alone. But what most people don’t realize is that too many Kegels can actually make things worse. For many active adults, especially runners and lifters, the real solution starts with learning how to release tension through pelvic floor stretches that help your muscles move and relax the way they should.
Your pelvic floor works like any other muscle group—it needs strength, but it also needs flexibility and recovery. When those muscles stay tight, you may notice pain in your hips, lower back, or even while running or sitting.
That’s your body telling you it’s time to stretch, not squeeze.
In this blog, we’ll walk through simple, science-backed stretches that help restore balance and coordination to your pelvic floor, so you can move freely, breathe easier, and get back to feeling strong again.
