Hey, Momma! Have you been told that Kegels are the secret to stopping leaks, strengthening your core, and fixing postpartum pelvic floor issues? Well… the truth is, they’re not enough! In today’s episode, we’re diving into why Kegels alone don’t cut it—and what you actually need to do to strengthen your pelvic floor and core the right way.
Many moms think they just need to ‘squeeze and lift’ more often, but if your pelvic floor isn’t working correctly, Kegels might make things worse!
In this episode, we will discuss
- What Kegels are and why they’re recommended
- The problem with only focusing on Kegels
- What to do instead
- And when it’s appropriate to do Kegels
