<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Postpartum women&#8217;s hormones are often the same as menopause</h2>



<p>I’ve always found it really interesting how&nbsp;postpartum&nbsp;women’s levels of estrogen and progesterone are often at the same level as menopausal women. </p>



<p>In fact, these events are two of the most hormonally charged in a woman’s life….and as the age of women giving birth has increased (and women are living longer) you could be experiencing both perimenopause &amp; postpartum symptoms simultaneously !</p>



<p>Pregnancy comes with soaring levels of estrogen and progesterone. As soon as the placenta comes out, levels of estrogen and progesterone plummet to perimenopausal levels within 24 hours after giving birth. It can then take a number of months to recover. Progesterone levels usually also drop faster than estrogen levels. So apart from having to deal with lower levels of both, there is also an imbalance between the two.</p>



<h2 class="wp-block-heading">The Roller Coaster during perimenopause and postpartum</h2>



<p>When estrogen levels are out of balance (either postnatally or during perimenopause) women tend to experience symptoms such as headaches and fluid retention &amp; more, but it’s really when mood-elevating progesterone is out of balance that things like postpartum depression, anxiety or low mood can take hold.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">
<figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/POSTNATAL-PERIMENOPAUSE-3.png" alt="perimenopause and postpartum at same time bodyfabulous female fitness coach hormones" class="wp-image-24442" width="350" height="350" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/POSTNATAL-PERIMENOPAUSE-3.png 1080w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/POSTNATAL-PERIMENOPAUSE-3-300x300.png 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2023/09/POSTNATAL-PERIMENOPAUSE-3-768x768.png 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px" /></figure></div>


<p>These symptoms are well documented in postpartum women (baby blues anyone?) &amp; certainly hormones are largely responsible for them. But in any case, it takes a while for our bodies and our minds to adjust after having a baby.</p>

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">How to support yourself during both peri and postpartum</h2>



<p>To support yourself during BOTH these periods, of perimenopause and postpartum. Optimal nutrition is vital. Eating a balanced diet that’s rich in protein, fibre and healthy fats is an excellent start, and where possible to reduce sugar, caffeine and alcohol – as these exacerbate negative symptoms even more.</p>


<div class="wp-block-image">

<h2 class="wp-block-heading">Consider cortisol during perimenopause and motherhood</h2>



<p>Exercise can also help significantly but only at the right intensity. Early and mid postpartum and perimenopause are not the time to put the body under additional counter-productive stress and raise cortisol levels.</p>

<p>You are not alone if you feel guilty about &#8220;never exercising&#8221; or &#8220;not going enough&#8221;. Many women think they “don’t have enough time to exercise” if they are not doing it for 1 hour or not getting red faced, exhausted or “feeling the burn”…so sadly they don’t start to exercise or completely stop what they are doing. </p>



<p>Let&#8217;s reframe exactly what &#8220;exercise&#8221; or a &#8220;workout&#8221; should be &#8211; watch my video below</p>



<figure class="wp-block-embed aligncenter is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="Feeling Guilty about not doing enough exercise #shorts" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/RyRQQv5ymn0?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">I want to bust a myth (or a lie the fitness &amp; media industry has sold to you).</h3>



<p>You can’t base the effectiveness of an exercise or workout on the feeling of your muscles “burning”. Exercising to exhaustion or “burn” also does not guarantee results!⠀⠀</p>



<p>Your workouts can make you breathe harder, make you perspire and increase your heart rate but you don’t have to exercise to depletion to increase your fitness. And please don’t make being “sore” after every work out your goal.  </p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Results come from CONSISTENCY &#8211; not exercising to exhaustion</h3>



<p>If you go “too hard” for too long you will not give your muscles enough time to recover and adapt. Plus if you are fatigued already from the life of busy motherhood, adding more depletion will undoubtedly result injury. Recovery should be made a priority so you can improve on your training the next session, plus, rest reduces cortisol levels which supports healthy hormones and fat loss. </p>



<p>It&#8217;s time to focus on quality movement instead of quantity &#8211; did you know you can begin NOW and you don&#8217;t even need activewear.

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">It&#8217;s not just about getting physical</h3>



<p>If you are sore after every workout, it will most likely have a psychological effect on training consistently. Think about how so many people “go hard” when they join a gym for the first time then drop off after 2-3 months. It’s because training like this is not sustainable.</p>



<p>It is also impossible to maintain this type of training if you are juggling a baby, toddler and work. Female fitness programming needs to stop to treating women just as small men and needs to consider women&#8217;s physical and mental challenges, biomechanics and hormones. This is what creates wholistic and realistic training regime that is sustainable for the lifetime of motherhood. This is why I love whole body movement &#8211; as it gives you &#8220;more bang for your buck&#8221; when you are short on time, healing from birth, or have had a long hiatus from exercise.<a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/services/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> </a><a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2021/05/20/dahlasbfabmethod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Check out my unique BFABMETHOD &#8211; training philosophy here</a>.</p>

<p>ABDOMINAL CONING &#8230;have you heard about it but struggle to know exactly what it is and what it looks like ? Here&#8217;s a tip that might help&#8230; When you see abdominal coning (don&#8217;t freak out) instead use this as information from your body that the movement you are doing during pregnancy or at any stage of motherhood is not optimal.</p>



<p>Below is am image of what abdominal coning looks like &#8211; I personally call it the &#8220;core toblerone&#8221; as it looks a bit like one of those triangle shaped chocolate bars !</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/coningcore.jpg" alt="abdominal_coning_pregnancy" class="wp-image-19249" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/coningcore-150x150.jpg 150w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/coningcore-100x100.jpg 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/coningcore-400x400.jpg 400w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/09/coningcore-1080x1080.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Abdominal Coning and Diastasis Recti</h3>



<p>Abdominal coning signifies that your linea alba, the mid line of the core is not activating effectively. Repetitive strain on this area can cause or make <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2018/07/29/get-facts-abdominal-separation-diastasis-recti/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Diastasis Recti</a> worse. This can happen during all types of movement (not only with traditional core based exercises such as sit ups or crunches) it can happen for example, pushing a heavy loaded pram or as per the image below doing a leg press</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/diastatis-recti-guide/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/legpressconing.jpg" alt="core-doaming-coning" class="wp-image-19936" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/legpressconing-150x150.jpg 150w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/legpressconing-100x100.jpg 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/legpressconing-400x400.jpg 400w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2020/02/legpressconing-1080x1080.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></figure></div>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Core coning does not mean DON&#8217;T MOVE </h3>



<p>As mentioned abdominal coning or doming is simply feedback from your body so listen to it and adjust as needed. As per the tips below : </p>



<ol class="wp-block-list"><li> Check your posture &#8211; alignment affects how the core activates and spreads load</li><li>How heavy is the weight you are lifting, pushing and pulling &#8211; is it optimal for your energy levels &#8230;if you are tired your core muscles will also be tired (especially if recovering from birth) !</li><li>Are you breathing as you move &#8211; its all about pressure control. I explain this <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CaZcyj-sywf/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">right here in my Instagram Page Video</a> all about the CORE CANNISTER</li></ol>



<p>Micro adjustments when you move can make a BIG difference to the strain you your core &#8230;as its all CONNECTED !</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CaZcyj-sywf/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/core-cannister.png" alt="core-cannister-core-coning-doming" class="wp-image-23124" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/core-cannister.png 1080w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/core-cannister-300x300.png 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/core-cannister-768x768.png 768w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/core-cannister-100x100.png 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/core-cannister-400x400.png 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></figure></div>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Don&#8217;t just default to Diastasis &#8220;SAFE&#8221; exercises </h3>



<p>For too long, women have been told to “avoid” certain exercises if they have an injury based DR or Diastasis Recti. And while I strongly believe that your foundation must be reset before jumping back into typical core based moves, or intense forms of exercise like <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2019/08/20/running-after-pregnancy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">running</a>. I also strongly advise mamas of all ages and stages to get into the habit of asking &#8220;does this support me&#8221; and steer clear of terminology that limits them from PROGRESSING through movement effectively &amp; INTUITIVELY !</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/bespoke/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/does-this-support-me-habit.png" alt="diastatis-core-doming-exercises" class="wp-image-23125" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/does-this-support-me-habit.png 1080w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/does-this-support-me-habit-300x300.png 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/does-this-support-me-habit-768x768.png 768w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/does-this-support-me-habit-100x100.png 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/05/does-this-support-me-habit-400x400.png 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></figure></div>



<p>It&#8217;s time as women we move forward and shift away from only performing &#8220;diastasis safe&#8221; exercises and LEARN TO, choose exercises that allow us to optimize our OWN core and pelvic floor function</p>



<p>In terms of healing and re-strengthening a core with injury based DR (or other core / pelvic floor concerns), try to focus on</p>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>How do you connect to your core ?</li><li>Do you understand how<a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2017/09/08/core-breath/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow"> pressure inside your core</a> is managed ? Grab my complimentary<a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/corebreath/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> CORE BREATHING infographic</a> as a fabulous place to start</li></ul>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Tune into your own ENERGY management if you are tired / depleted your muscles including core / pelvic floor will be as well ! Never think a workout should be harder or go for longer to &#8220;get results&#8221; #outdated and more on that <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2018/04/13/exercise-exhaustion-get-results/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> </li><li>Learning how to optimise movement + whole core control …beyond just the 6pack &#8211; I can teach you how to do this with my <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2021/05/20/dahlasbfabmethod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">BFABMETHOD</a> which is use in my 1:1 coaching, group sessions and online programs </li></ul>

<p>Begin today with simply asking yourself&nbsp; &#8216;DOES THIS SUPPORT ME ?&#8221; and become mindful of your movements, rather than just getting the reps done or going through the motions</p>



<p>This, will not only begin to address any or all <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2022/03/22/feet-pelvicfloor/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">core and pelvic floor injuries</a>, but will also help you to tune in to when your body is ready to progress into more challenging exercises.</p>

<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>How do you engage your core and pelvic floor?

<p>It is simple &#8211; make these adjustments and see no coning, then the move is great ! Still see coning &#8211; then maybe it is time to find an alternative move or modify further or connect with a <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/about-dahlas-pregnancy-trainer/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">certified trainer</a> who can guide you.</p>

<p>By actively encouraging blood flow to key areas, the shorts and leggings minimise the risk of groin, adductor and hamstring injuries. They will also assist the body and help to accelerate the rehabilitation of recently damaged tissue through the control of your lower body movements making these an essential item for all stages of motherhood. They are also really comfy to wear and I love that the support means I don&#8217;t need to keep hiking them back up my waist during exercise !</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Here are 3 simple but effective moves to try with a Fitball:</h3>



<figure class="wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio"><div class="wp-block-embed__wrapper">
<iframe loading="lazy" title="3 Ways to Use a Fitball" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/y8W3Pa0NNsI?feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>
</div></figure>



<p>1. <strong>CARDIO </strong>&#8211; yes when you do cardio style moves on the ball your hips, and <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2021/11/20/pelvicfloor-jaw/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pelvic floor</a> is supported PLUS as you need to balance the&nbsp;deep core&nbsp;is activated.</p>



<p>That is why I have <a href="https://www.bfabmethod.com/corecardio" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">a whole program designed around this called Core Cardio</a> suitable for anyBODY. Or if you register for my next <a href="https://www.bfabmethod.com/workshop" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">face to face pregnancy workshop</a> where I show you all the moves that are suitable for pregnancy and beyond.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><a href="https://www.bfabmethod.com/workshop"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/core_cardio_pris-1024x1024.png" alt="dynamic_fitball_workouts_preggibellies" class="wp-image-20229" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/core_cardio_pris-1024x1024.png 1024w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/core_cardio_pris-300x300.png 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/core_cardio_pris-150x150.png 150w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/core_cardio_pris-768x768.png 768w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/core_cardio_pris-100x100.png 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/core_cardio_pris-400x400.png 400w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/core_cardio_pris.png 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></figure></div>



<p><strong>As Anne with a&nbsp;prolapse&nbsp;while pregnant said …</strong></p>



<blockquote class="wp-block-quote is-layout-flow wp-block-quote-is-layout-flow"><p>“<em>I anticipated that I would have to watch on for most of the pregnancy workshop as I had strict instructions not to do anything that exacerbated the pelvic floor discomfort. <strong>To my joy and amazement, not only could I do everything at the workshop, but the next day I actually felt much better.</strong> As I have continued the fitball exercises at home I am finding that I am much less uncomfortable &#8211; the injury remains but is not causing me distress anymore! I can&#8217;t tell you how thankful I am.</em>&#8220;</p></blockquote>



<p><strong>2. PUSH UPs</strong> with the ball against the wall …these are harder than they look. No injury or pregnancy try this move on your toes.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.bfabmethod.com/corecardio"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FITBALL-FABULOUS-5.png" alt="fitball-workout-dahlas-fletcher-australian-trainer" class="wp-image-23029" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FITBALL-FABULOUS-5.png 1080w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FITBALL-FABULOUS-5-300x300.png 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FITBALL-FABULOUS-5-768x768.png 768w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FITBALL-FABULOUS-5-100x100.png 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/04/FITBALL-FABULOUS-5-400x400.png 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></figure></div>



<p><strong>3. SQUATS</strong> &#8211; struggling to find an optimal <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2018/08/16/squat_pregnancy_workout/">squat position</a> for a workout, or for birth prep and labour ? </p>



<p>Using a Fitball in the small of your back is a fabulous option. Exhale as you rise for some core breath activation (see my previous blog <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2018/08/16/squat_pregnancy_workout/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">here</a> all about squats also train your core)</p>

<p>The skin is the largest organ in the human body and is susceptible to an array of assaults, not in the least of which is what you put on or near your skin. Over 60% of this gets absorbed into your bloodstream, so it’s important to want to make sure you are using is not causing your body and especially your growing baby harm.</p>

<p>Inspired by their own natural journey to health, Jess and Emma travel the world to uncover distinctive, small-batch perfume creators, eschewing mass-market “big perfume” manufacturers. Their values are uncompromising  &#8211; all perfumes, candles, essential oils and room scents are incredibly luxurious; beautifully crafted and artisanal in approach and free of synthetic chemicals and harmful <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CbrYsZ1PWVi/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">toxins</a>. &nbsp;</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-large is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/14.png" alt="non_toxic_hormones" class="wp-image-5935" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/14.png 500w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/14-150x150.png 150w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/14-300x300.png 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/14-100x100.png 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2015/03/14-400x400.png 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">How to switch, to natural fragrances </h3>



<p>Switching to all natural products might seem overwhelming, and it likely will be if you try to switch out all your products at once. Emma and Jess advise that the best way to transition is with small, consistent changes to your daily routine and lifestyle.&nbsp;First, start with just one product, for example, your perfume. If you want to start now, why not try the <a href="https://sensoriam.com/pages/perfume-scent-quiz" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Sensoriam Scent Quiz here</a> to help you discern a fragrance that is perfect for you.</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading">The Sensoriam story</h3>



<p>For natural beauty expert, Jessica Kiely, the path to Sensoriam began on one unassuming day in 2013 when her husband announced he wanted out of their marriage. It was a turning point for Jessica, who realised she needed to strip away toxins of body, mind, spirit and soul. With a deeper connection to nature and holistic living, Jessica discovered a stronger, more beautiful sense of self.</p>

<iframe loading="lazy" title="Sensor.i.am - non toxic fragrance for pregnancy #motherhood" width="500" height="281" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/2Y2oMXVmALw?start=10&#038;feature=oembed" frameborder="0" allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share" referrerpolicy="strict-origin-when-cross-origin" allowfullscreen></iframe>

<p>It all began in the family station wagon driving to ballet for brand pioneer, Emma Scott. As a kid, she had to sit for the whole drive breathing in the overpowering scent from her mum’s synthetic perfume, Anais Anais. It made Emma so nauseous she could barely stand straight during ballet class! This was the beginning of a decades-long hyper-sensitivity to artificial fragrances. It also opened Emma’s eyes (and nose) to the benefits of natural products and clean living. Throughout her life, embracing spiritual and metaphysical practices has had a profound impact on Emma’s sense of wellbeing.</p>



<p>Both Jess and Emma are dedicated to helping others find their way to a more natural way of living, and no better time to explore removing toxins from your environment is when you have a little one on the way. Better for baby, better for you.</p>



<p>P.S If you are pregnant there are certain essential oils you need to avoid. <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2017/07/10/fabulous-essential-oils-pregnancy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Learn more here for your safety</a></p>

<p>If you have been hanging with me for a while you would have heard me say&#8230;.the Pelvic Floor and the rest of the CORE &#8211;&nbsp; DON&#8217;T WORK IN ISOLATION, they are part of a&nbsp;<a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2018/11/01/fascia_collagen_pregnancy/">fascially integrated</a>&nbsp;and functionally synergistic WHOLE.</p>



<p>The &#8216;conversation&#8217; between the core and the rest of the body runs from the toes to the nose, so for example tension in the jaw can be related to a hypertonic pelvic floor or HIP PAIN can also be related to the pelvic floor and also <strong>THE FEET AND ANKLES</strong></p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Just like the wheel alignment of a car&#8230;</h3>



<p>Wonky wheel alignment of a car affects the way it drives &amp; performs. The same connection applies to our bodies with the FEET, core and<a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2018/11/27/pelvic-floor-exercises-for-pregnancy-postpartum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener"> pelvic floor</a>.</p>



<p>The &#8216;conversation&#8217; between the core and the rest of the body runs from the toes to the nose, so a great place to start is the FEET</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/feet-ankles-connected.png" alt="feet-ankles-pelvic-floor-connection" class="wp-image-22782" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/feet-ankles-connected.png 1080w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/feet-ankles-connected-300x300.png 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/feet-ankles-connected-768x768.png 768w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/feet-ankles-connected-100x100.png 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/feet-ankles-connected-400x400.png 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></figure></div>



<p>Ultimately, mobility and functionality at the foot and ankle area matters and continence and pelvic floor function CAN be improved by improving your foot, ankle function and mobility</p>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Simple ways to start are …</h3>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Consider what shoes you wear &amp; how you feel afterwards. </li><li>Take time to walk &amp; move barefoot. Add plantar &amp; dorsiflexion movement to workouts plus mobility moves !</li><li>Roll the soles of the feet with trigger ball or tennis ball &#8211; can you feel pockets of tension or tenderness ? This tension will probably also be in the network of deep core muscles including glutes &amp; hips.</li></ul>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://www.instagram.com/p/CYinGFTKSwH/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880.jpg" alt="pregnancy_swollen_feet-pelvicfloor-feet" class="wp-image-19756" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880.jpg 1242w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880-300x300.jpg 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880-1024x1024.jpg 1024w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880-150x150.jpg 150w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880-768x768.jpg 768w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880-100x100.jpg 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880-400x400.jpg 400w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2019/03/IMG_1880-1080x1080.jpg 1080w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></figure></div>



<ul class="wp-block-list"><li>Remember pelvic floor health impacts your body as a WHOLE, even if you’ve never had babies!</li></ul>



<h3 class="wp-block-heading">Whole body movement beyond Kegels is essential</h3>



<p>Sound confusing &#8211; but it&#8217;s pretty simple when you switch your mindset away from &#8220;spot training&#8221; one area &#8211; this includes <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2020/12/02/keglesandpregnancy/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">Kegels </a>!</p>

<h3 class="wp-block-heading"><strong>Current pelvic floor research and how this can translate into a workout &#8230;</strong></h3>



<p>Want to dive deeper ? Here are few current pelvic floor research studies to illustrate the point. As yep I am big on <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2021/05/20/dahlasbfabmethod/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">evidence-based training methods</a>.</p>



<div class="wp-block-image"><figure class="aligncenter size-full is-resized"><a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/bespoke/"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" src="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SUPERCHARGE-POSTNATAL-RECOVERY-3.png" alt="pelvic-floor-what-not-telling-ankles-feet" class="wp-image-22783" width="300" height="300" srcset="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SUPERCHARGE-POSTNATAL-RECOVERY-3.png 1080w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SUPERCHARGE-POSTNATAL-RECOVERY-3-300x300.png 300w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SUPERCHARGE-POSTNATAL-RECOVERY-3-768x768.png 768w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SUPERCHARGE-POSTNATAL-RECOVERY-3-100x100.png 100w, https://bodyfabulous.com.au/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/SUPERCHARGE-POSTNATAL-RECOVERY-3-400x400.png 400w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px" /></a></figure></div>



<p><br>1. <a href="https://scholar.google.com.au/scholar?q=Two+Chen+et+al+(2005+%26+2009)+studies+pelvic+floor&amp;hl=en&amp;as_sdt=0&amp;as_vis=1&amp;oi=scholart" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Two Chen et al (2005 &amp; 2009) studies</a> showed that different ankle positions, plantarflexion and dorsiflexion can influence a pelvic floor contraction by changes made in pelvic positioning and surrounding muscle co-activation.</p>



<p><strong><strong>SELF DISCOVERY&#8230;</strong></strong><br>How are your feet when you work out, do you ever train in NO SHOES so you can tune into the plantar and dorsiflexion of your feet? Read on why &#8230;.</p>



<p>2. <a href="https://www.researchgate.net/publication/7705609_Relationship_between_ankle_position_and_pelvic_floor_muscle_activity_in_female_stress_urinary_incontinence" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">A Nygaard study in 2005</a> showed there was a statistically significant association between decreased foot flexibility and urinary incontinence measuring the medial arch height. Which can&#8217;t be mentioned without mentioning the relationship between the mobility of the plantar foot and the capacity to perform &#8216;short-foot&#8217; and the ability to &#8216;fire&#8217; up Thomas Myers&#8217; Deep Front Line which runs through the Pelvic Floor.</p>



<p><strong><strong><strong>SELF DISCOVERY&#8230;</strong> </strong></strong>Are the shoes you were daily constricting your foot mobility? <br>How often do you wear high heels or wedges?<br>How do your pelvic floor, back and hips feel after wearing them?</p>



<p>3. <a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC6192454/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Lee in 2018 showed Pelvic Floor </a> exercises performed in active ankle dorsiflexion positions while standing may increase the effectiveness of these exercises.</p>



<p><strong>SELF DISCOVERY&#8230;</strong><br>When you do <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2018/11/27/pelvic-floor-exercises-for-pregnancy-postpartum/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">pelvic floor exercises </a>do you ever think about the position of your feet? &#8230;.you might even be curling your toes?</p>



<p>When cueing pelvic floor exercises and connection I focus on <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CSBKhLOBytW/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">BOTH LOCAL AND GLOBAL </a>as the feet are very much part of the whole body connection with the Pelvic Floor and the rest of the <a href="https://bodyfabulous.com.au/2019/05/10/pregnancyexerciseprogram/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener">core</a>.  Here are some examples in an <a href="https://www.instagram.com/reel/CSBKhLOBytW/" target="_blank" rel="noreferrer noopener nofollow">Instagram Video</a></p>
