Constipation & Pelvic Floor Issues HACK!

STOP doing KEGELS and START massaging your belly w/ diaphragmatic breathing for issues like CONSTIPATION and so much more!🤯⬇️

You can use a rolled up towel, pillows, or blankets BUT this squishy bolster pillow is from my kids play set (fav exercise pp b/c my pelvic floor is SO TIGHT!)

Yes, I rarely prescribe just Kegels to a patient and often advise people to STOP them b/c it’s actually making the issues worse like prolapse or constipation!⬇️

Most need deep core strengthening & functional exercises NOT KEGELS!🤯⬇️

It’s important to be able to elongate your pelvic floor especially during diaphragmatic breathing!🙌

This is one of my fav exercises being 4 months post VBAC with a minor 2nd degree tear (and I already had prolapse prior to kids, grade 1 so it definitely worsened immediately pp but has resolved with doing pelvic floor exercises like this at home!)🙏⬇️

This is also great if you suffered from pelvic pain, constipation, leaking, urgency, etc!⬇️⬇️⬇️

Do you ever get stabbing, sharp, or severe pinpoint pain directly in the anus or rectum?🙋🏼‍♀️

Me before I had kids and even worse during my second labor and after BUT…I luckily know how to relieve and prevent it NOW!😅🙌

Proctalgia fugax or functional recurrent anorectal pain is part of a spectrum of functional gastrointestinal disorders which causes episodes of sharp pain localized to the anus or lower rectum! You may also be suffering from undiagnosed ENDOMETRIOSIS!⬇️⬇️⬇️

It can last from seconds to several minutes with no pain between episodes❗️

Chronic proctalgia is characterized as a dull ache or pressure sensation higher in the rectum which is often worse with sitting, standing or lying down and last for AT LEAST 20 minutes❗️

And the worst part is that this PAIN can occur while you are sleeping😴
