The best pelvic posture so you don’t have bladder leakage!

HI FRIEND,

Understanding the pelvis

We have 2 pelvic bones, a left and right. They come together by joining with the sacrum (the bottom part of your spine) and make up what we think of as our pelvis!

The green part highlighted is considered your “SIJ” or sacro-illiac joint, where the two ilium bones join together

Now draw attention to the bottom part of the pelvis, these rounded points are your “sit bones”, you can find them by pressing upwards at your butt cheek smile lines. My question for you is, do you actually sit on these bones or are you slouching?!

How the pelvic posture affects your bladder leakage

Our muscle groups can bias where our pelvis “lives” when it comes to your posture, for the purpose of bladder leakage in the episode I talk about the “cat” vs “cow” pelvis also known as an anterior or posterior pelvic tilt.

Neither are necessarily “bad”, but oftentimes I see with patients, they fall into one vs the other. One posture can be considered less than idea, especially when it comes to pelvic floor concerns like peeing your pants and even low back pain. This is because the organs that are supported by the pelvic floor muscles sometimes need that extra boost of support from the bony anatomy of the pelvis, which in this case are called our “sits bones”- you guessed it, the bones we sit on! If your pelvic posture is not in that ideal position, you won’t be “getting that extra support” from your natural anatomy.

Tune into this episode to learn about how posture affects the pelvic floor!

After that, I want to invite you to join me in my course: Stop Peeing Your Pants, where you will learn how to change your posture for the better, connect with your core, and stop peeing your pants in 90 days or less!
