Your Pelvic Floor: "The Ultimate Girl Squad"

Ladies, your pelvic floor is not just one muscle—it’s a whole squad of muscles, tissues, and structures working behind the scenes to keep you supported, strong, and in control. But just like any friend group, if one member starts acting up, the whole squad feels it—especially during menopause.

In this episode of Take Care of Your Kitty, we’re breaking it all down in the most relatable way possible. Your pelvic floor is made up of:

💪 The Strong One – (Levator Ani) Holding it all together

🧘‍♀️ The Flexible One – (Pelvic Diaphragm) Keeping things balanced

🚪 The Gatekeeper – (Sphincters) Controlling the exits

😩 The Overachiever – (Tight Pelvic Floor Muscles) Always working too hard

🛠 The Support System – (Connective Tissue & Fascia) Holding everything in place

But what happens when menopause rolls in? Your once-reliable squad starts switching up on you—leading to leaks, pressure, discomfort, and more. Don’t worry, though—I’ve got you covered with tips to keep everything in check so your pelvic floor can keep showing up for you!

Tune in to learn:

✔️ How your pelvic floor functions like a group of girlfriends

✔️ What happens to these muscles and tissues during menopause

✔️ Why some women experience leaks, pelvic pain, or prolapse

✔️ Simple ways to strengthen, balance, and support your pelvic floor at any stage of life
