Fix your back pain for good

Low back pain is not always coming from the back itself.

When pelvic floor support is weak or not coordinating well, the low back ends up doing extra work and becomes painful.

Retraining the pelvic floor helps by:

• supporting the spine

• reducing strain on the low back

• improving posture

If stretching and quick fixes are not helping, your back may not be the real issue. It may be time to train the pelvic floor.

... Read moreMany people don't realize that their persistent lower back pain may actually be caused by pelvic floor dysfunction rather than the back itself. From my personal experience, incorporating pelvic floor retraining exercises significantly improved my posture and reduced the strain on my low back. These exercises focus on gently activating and strengthening the muscles that support the pelvis, which in turn lightens the workload on your lower spine. One effective exercise involves engaging the pelvic floor muscles as if you’re trying to stop the flow of urine, holding the contraction for a few seconds, then releasing. Repeating this several times daily not only boosts muscle coordination but also offers relief from tightness and discomfort. It's important to combine pelvic floor training with mindful posture awareness throughout the day. Avoid prolonged sitting and try light stretching to complement muscle strengthening. If traditional back stretches haven't provided relief, focusing on pelvic floor exercises might be the missing piece. In addition, practicing these exercises can help prevent future back pain episodes by promoting spinal stability and alignment. For those struggling with chronic low back tightness or pain, pelvic floor retraining offers a promising, less invasive option to regain comfort and mobility.
