171 Pelvic Floor Health with Sarah Gaddie

About Sarah

I’ve been a Pilates instructor for almost 20 years and taught fitness forever yet after having three children I was suffering from bladder leakage. I trained as a pelvic floor coach five years ago so I could help myself and millions of other women who put up with pelvic floor problems! I’ve also trained as a menopause coach so now run pelvic floor programmes, pelvic floor in menopause workshops and coach women in fitness to do regular exercise to lift their energy levels, strengthen their bones and improve their confidence, whilst supporting the pelvic floor!

Can everyone improve their pelvic floor health?

Yes! Whilst many women suffer in silence you can take positive action and improve the health of your pelvic floor. Many women have suffered for years with leakage and think that it is just something that they have to put up with, however this is not the case.

And it's never too late to start, Sarah was in her mid 40's before she started to work on her own pelvic floor muscles.

How do we learn to work the muscles better?

As a pilates instructor sarah was shocked when she realised that she didn't have any specific training around the pelvic floor muscles. The pelvic floor has 46 connected muscles. Sarah teaches women to understand how to connect with these muscles to understand better how to improve their pelvic floor health.

It's not just a case of tightening the muscles, women have spent years 'holding in' which can be as detrimental to your overall pelvic floor health as being undertoned.

Where can we start?

Breathe!

When you breathe properly, and deeply you can feel the pelvic muscles start to connect and then relax. This is the first place that Sarah starts with all her clients.

Quick fire!
