3 ESSENTIAL PELVIC FLOOR MOVES (None of which are Kegels)
3 ESSENTIAL PELVIC FLOOR MOVES (None of which are Kegels) How your hips move is essential to pelvic floor health; your deep hip muscles form part of the ‘wall’ around your pelvis, and ALL the muscles around your pelvis influence the tone and function of the limited number of muscles generally called your ‘pelvic floor’. Here are 3 of my top hip exercises for a happy pelvic floor (and happy hips too!) Want more? Check out my Pelvic Floor+ program in the link!

Movement essential for humans who sit in chairs too much ⤵️
Our hips often feel ’tight’ when really our hip muscles are weak and underused. I’m not saying you should never stretch, but because mobility exercises help you use and strengthen your muscles at their end ranges, they can be a real game changer for stiff, aching hips. Here I’m showing one of my favourite hip mobility options from @movnat - the best part is you’re also getting great loads for your core, ribcage & shoulders here too (and it feels amazing) - do 3-5 each side, 1-3x, slowly, as a movement break or a warm up. So nice! Share this with your friend who’s always looking for a new hip stretch - and be sure to subscribe to my movement newsletter for more essential mobility & movement tips to help your whole body feel better & work better! 😘🔗
