Why I Tell Moms To Stop Doing Kegels - Belly Birth Beyond with Pelvic Floor Momma | Lyssna här

If you’ve ever been told to “just do your kegels,” this episode is for you.

Kegels have become the go-to recommendation for almost every pelvic floor symptom—but they’re not the right answer for every body.

In fact, for some moms, doing more kegels can actually make pain, leaking, pressure, or tension worse.

In this episode, we’re breaking down one of the biggest misconceptions in pelvic health.

You’ll learn:

Why kegels aren’t a one-size-fits-all solution
What your pelvic floor actually needs before strengthening
Why a tight pelvic floor can be just as problematic as a weak one
How breathing, pressure management, and everyday movement affect your pelvic floor
Why exercises alone often don’t solve the root cause
How the B.S.R. Method helps you build a strong, functional pelvic floor without jumping straight to kegels

The goal isn’t to convince you that kegels are “bad.”

It’s to help you understand when they’re appropriate, when they’re not, and why the right approach depends on your body.

If you’ve been faithfully doing kegels but you’re still leaking, still in pain, or still feeling pressure, this episode may explain why.

Because pelvic floor health isn’t about squeezing harder.

It’s about helping your body work the way it was designed to.
