The Pelvic Floor is a Trampoline, Not a Biceps

Updated: Feb 14

Are we still using the biceps analogy for the pelvic floor? Trying to explain the length-tension relationship? There's a better way!



In the Essential Pelvic Strengthening: Not Your Mama's Kegels course I teach we should be explaining the pelvic floor more as a trampoline.


The Pelvic Floor is a Trampoline, Not a Biceps
 

Pelvic PT Rising: The pelvic health tools to make you a better clinician and/or a more successful business owner. We want every single pelvic health practitioner to be more confident and successful in your practice and career!

  • Clinical Courses: Game-changing online courses to make you more confident, challenge your thinking and improve patient outcomes

  • Business Resources: Helping 500+ pelvic health practitioners confidently start, grow and build their dream business!

 

It's a more nuanced analogy that helps explain resting tone, how important the surrounding structure is, and how the pelvic floor behaves in a more involuntary fashion.


Check out the 'sode for why I think it's a better analogy for ourselves and our patients!

As Nicole said in the full episode:


"If we start teaching people an incorrect way, we start to think like that, and that biceps analogy just does not work." - Nicole Cozean
