149- Strong Arms Aren’t Just For The Boys// Restoring the Shoulder to Support Pelvic Floor Health
Episode 149
Thursday, 20 November, 2025
Do you carry the weight of the world in your shoulders? Tension, tightness, poor posture, and pain in the upper body can ripple all the way down to your core and pelvic floor. In today’s episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, we continue the Restore Your Joints series by focusing on the shoulder joint and upper body — and why restoring this area is CRUCIAL for full-body strength, stability, and pelvic floor support. You'll learn: How shoulder mobility and stability influence rib cage positioning and core function What fascial connections exist between the jaw, neck, thoracic spine, and pelvic floor (and why clenching = tension down below!) Signs your upper body might be overcompensating for deeper core instability How to begin restoring your shoulders with mobility, breathing, and gentle strength work Simple tools to unlock tension and realign your upper body for better posture, strength & support Whether you’ve had babies or not, if you spend your day hunched at a desk, driving, or wrangling kids — this episode is a must-listen. 🔁 Ready to Go Deeper?: My 12-week RESTORE Program – on sale for $397 through November!
