I got a great question recently. Someone asked, “Does the diaphragm contract on the inhale or the exhale, and then what happens with the pelvic floor?" The answer is important to know so you can understand how breathing affects your pelvic floor.

Watch the video for a demonstration of how the diaphragm and pelvic floor coordinate. It is amazing how everything works together to create a pressure system. The human body is just so fascinating! We want to make sure this system is working efficiently to help improve issues like prolapse and diastasis. The good news is the human body is incredible, and given the right environment it has tons of room for improvement!

Did you learn anything new from the video? Can you feel this happening?
If not, that might be a sign of pelvic floor tightness. If you’d like more information on pelvic floor tightness, check out these videos:
