I'm sharing. Although women are more open to discuss our bodies both after having children and as we age the discussion of our pelvic floor is still so frequently not spoken of. There are people out there that still believe that incontinence is a result of age or having children. That it is something that "just happens" to women, I'm here to tell you that it is not. Yes your body will change. Yes you will age. Yes it takes patience. YES you can do something about it. I won’t make a promise that things will go back to the way they were before, because that's a promise that no one should make. However, I will say that you can train those muscles just as you do all of the other muscles in your body, and with time and consistency you will be surprised at what you can achieve.
I have been given the gift of two beautiful little ones. My pregnancies and deliveries were healthy and free of medication. I realize how lucky I am and I am grateful. I know of many friends and family members where this was not the case. Students have told me stories of their pregnancies, deliveries, and recovery. Their experiences are unique to each individual and even more, each baby.
Lets talk. Real talk. No matter your age if you are walking or sitting and especially if you are active you are, in fact, training your pelvic floor. Now not all training is the same. When it comes to recovering from anything you have to take the time to dig deep both mentally and physically, to get down to the foundation of the movement. If you train the body incorrectly then dysfunction occurs.
I'm honestly not huge on devices when it comes to working out, but the pelvic floor is different. You can't see it. You can't look in a mirror and really truly see what is happening inside. When you perform almost any other rehab you have the ability to see what is going on. You also have assistance from guided touch. Your practitioner can help you with feedback from their hands to move properly. When it comes to the pelvic floor you don't have that. Unless of course you are comfortable enough to work with a Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. However, many women are just not comfortable with this. This is where the Perifit comes in.
