Pelvic health tip of the week: My literal actual favorite exercise.

It's for you! It fixes... everything? Not really, but close.

I have this thing about myself as a clinician that I both love and hate.

I’m incredibly mentally flexible. I often make exercises up for clients, right there on the spot. This is great, because it supports the specific client’s needs. And it’s annoying!!! I often lack a video reference, etc. It’s the worst.

But I love experimenting with movement for the common good. And I also really appreciate efficiency.

Welcome to this weird exercise I made up. I prescribe it for literally every client with prolapse and incontinence. I often give it to folks with pain who want to get stronger. Nothing helps everything, but this one comes damn close.

I developed this exercise years ago, and since then, I’ve riffed on a few variations. But here’s what you need to know:

• We get glute work

• We get eccentric core work (see my recent post on Pilates re: why I like this)

• It’s easily modifiable

• We get the pelvis out of gravity (making this my go-to for prolapse and incontinence)

• It feels really fucking good, IMO.

Ready to get into it? Let’s make this magic happen!

I’ll actually be sharing three variations on the same magical exercise, both to spice up your life and to accommodate pregnant folks! Hooray! Something for everyone! (And also, if you haven’t revisited The Spice Girls in the last year, you’re really missing out.)

I have zero shame. None.
