Pregnancy Pelvic Floor Essentials
Connect.

Having a strong pelvic floor during pregnancy will help reduce symptoms of incontinence and prolapse and optimize your postnatal recovery. As a physio-led program, we are passionate about helping you to keep your core strong and connected with pregnancy-safe exercises and workouts.
Why is your Pelvic Floor so important?
Your pelvic floor needs to be able to contract and lift to protect your pelvic organs and maintain continence. But it also needs to be able to open and relax.
If you are pregnant now and aren't experiencing incontinence or leaking you will be 62% les likely to experience incontinence in late pregnancy! You'll also have a 29% lower risk of developing urinary incontinence in the 3-6 months post-birth.
During birth your pelvic floor needs to be able to stretch up to 3 times its normal length to allow for the passage of your baby down the birth canal.
Learning how to engage and relax your pelvic floor is vital for a healthy pregnancy.
What is the EMP approach to Pelvic Floor Exercise in Pregnancy?
Maintaining a strong pelvic floor will help reduce your chances of experiencing long-term pelvic floor complications. It is also incredibly important for your postnatal recovery. The Empowered Motherhood Program will help you keep your pelvic floor and core feeling strong and prepared for birth.
