The "Support Crew": Why your hips matter for your floor

When we talk about pelvic floor health, we don't just look at one muscle group. We look at the entire "support crew"—the glutes, the inner thighs, and the hips.

We often find that "leaking" or "heaviness" is actually a sign that your hips are tight or your glutes are "sleepy" from pregnancy.

We want to help you move away from just "doing Kegels" and toward a body that works in total harmony. When your hips are strong and mobile, they take the pressure off your pelvic floor.

Takeaways for Hip and Floor Health:

The Glute Bridge Squeeze:

When doing a glute bridge, place a small ball or rolled-up towel between your knees. Squeezing it gently as you lift engages your inner thighs, which naturally supports the pelvic floor.

Release Before Strength:

If your hips feel "pinchy," try a gentle 90/90 hip stretch before your workout. A mobile hip is a strong hip.

The Adductor Connection:

Your inner thighs are fascial best friends with your pelvic floor. Strengthening them through side-lying Pilates moves can significantly improve your pelvic stability.

(Always remember: this is general education, not individual medical advice. If something feels off or worrisome, loop in your healthcare provider.)
