What Works Quickest to Tackle Pelvic Floor Issues

At Garner Pelvic Health my patients often ask what works BEST to tackle pelvic floor issues and pain (and overall stress). My answer is always, start with your breathing. 

I work with people who have struggled for a LONG time with pelvic, abdominal, low back, sacroiliac joint, and/or hip pain. My clinical approach is to use a "three diaphragm" method, because pelvic floor problems don't exist in isolation. 

The Three Diaphragm Approach tackles the 3 major areas where problems can arise (which make pelvic floor issues or pain worse). Those three areas are: 

1. Vocal diaphragm

2. Respiratory diaphragm

3. Pelvic diaphragm
