Pelvic Floor Health for Every Body with Physical Therapist Röbynn Europe
In today’s episode, personal trainer and future pelvic floor physical therapist Röbynn Europe demystifies all things pelvic floor health: what it is, why it matters, and how to get help when needed. Röbynn breaks down the “core as a box” (diaphragm, abs, back, pelvic floor), explains Kegels beyond the basics (the dreaded/loved “elevator” holds), and shares signs something needs attention: from incontinence to painful sex, low-back/groin pain, and post-birth changes (including after C-sections). We also dig into why men, too, should train their pelvic floors (especially lifters), and how much knowledge and representation are power when it comes to pelvic health.
In this episode, we discussed:The “core as a box” model and why pelvic floor strength anchors itKegels, including progressive “elevator” reps and timed holdsRed flags to look out for: different types of incontinence, incomplete emptying, painful sex, pelvic/low-back painPostpartum & the value of pelvic floor therapy even after a C-sectionThe importance of pelvic health for menThe value of representation and knowledge in improving Black health outcomes through pelvic floor care
