Wag that tail! Quick pelvic floor exercise
Can you move your Tailbone? Join me for another super quick Pelvic Floor Integration exercise that you can practice anywhere! This time you will learn to wag your tail. Yes, that is possible :)
Our pelvis is formed by our two hip bones and our sacrum. The sacrum is part of the spine; more specifically, it’s the place where the spine crosses the pelvic ring. Under the sacrum, at the end of our spine, hangs our little tailbone (coccyx). This little piece is often underestimated, but it plays an important role in the biomechanics of our body structure because it’s connected with the entire pelvic floor.
What is the difference between Kegels and pelvic floor integration for women?
WHY THIS IS ANTI KEGELS
Your vagina itself is an involuntary smooth muscle, not a striated muscle that can be activated consciously. Exercises in which you squeeze or move objects in your vagina do not directly train your vagina, but only the muscles in the immediate vicinity of the vagina. Those muscles are especially the first layer of the pelvic floor (including the sphincters) and the PC muscle, which is just a small part of the levator ani, the important third layer of the pelvic floor.
Training with weights is not the whole thing
This is why all exercises in which you activate your vagina, exercise only a fraction of your powerful pelvic floor complex.
Therefore, it's misleading to call training with weights pelvic floor training.
On the one hand, this may lead women to think that what they are doing is sufficient pelvic floor training while they leave their pelvic floor underused, and on the other hand weight training may also lead to vaginismus, vaginal spasms, bladder problems, and painful sex.
Pelvic floor training that shortens the pelvic floor muscles - which is always the case when we focus on the vagina, even when we relax "her" in-between - can force the bones of the pelvis into a rigid and unnaturally close position. This may cause the important third layer of the pelvic floor to sag, so it can't span in its optimal position and do its actual job.
Any pelvic floor workout that works exclusively with contraction and without dynamic movement and stretching of the pelvic floor can be counterproductive or harmful.
