Most people think pelvic floor problems mean they need more strengthening. But before your pelvic floor can effectively lift and contract, it first needs to fully lengthen and release. A muscle that is constantly gripping cannot generate real strength or recoil. Learning how your pelvic floor moves with breathing — lengthening on an inhale and recoiling on an exhale — is often the missing piece behind better core connection, less leaking, reduced pain, and improved function.

GLP-1 medications like Ozempic and Wegovy can impact your pelvic floor. Learn how to prevent leaking, pain, and core weakness with pelvic PT.

One of the most common questions we hear at AK Pelvic Health & Wellness is: “How many visits will this take?” And it’s a great question. Many people hope that one session—or even just a few exercises—will completely solve issues like leaking, pelvic pain, pressure, or core weakness. While some clients notice improvement quickly, lasting change in the body rarely happens overnight.
