🚽 Backed Up and Clenched Up? Let’s Talk Pelvic Floor Dyssynergia (Patreon)

Ever feel like you really need to go, but your body isn’t cooperating? You push, you strain, you wait… and still no satisfying poop. That frustrating dance might be pelvic floor dyssynergia when the muscles meant to relax for a bowel movement decide to tighten or refuse to relax when it's go time. Basically, your butt’s hitting the brakes when you’re trying to hit the gas.

A few things that can help:

✨Ditch the strain. Pushing harder usually makes the pelvic floor clamp down more.

✨Try the belly breath. Deep inhale into your belly, gentle exhale as if you’re fogging up a mirror.

✨Poo Posture check. Feet up on a stool, elbows on knees, lean forward.

If this sounds like you, I made a video walking you through what’s happening down there and what you can do about it.

Watch the video and let me know your thoughts! Your bowels deserve smooth sailing, not a traffic jam ❤️
