5 Reasons to STOP crossing your legs!

7/24/2023

Let's talk about a common habit many of us have: crossing our legs.

Did you know that uncrossing those legs can do wonders for your pelvic floor health, especially if you have tight pelvic floor muscles?!

Break free from the crossed-leg habit (which will not be easy!) and give your pelvic floor the love it deserves. Here's why:

Relieving Pelvic Floor Tension: When you cross your legs, you are shortening or contracting your inner thighs over a long period of time. This results in tightened pelvic floor muscles.

Encouraging Better Alignment: Crossing your legs can disrupt your body's natural alignment, causing imbalances in your pelvis and lower back.

Improving Blood Circulation: Crossed legs can restrict blood flow, leading to decreased circulation in your lower body.

Enhancing Pelvic Floor Activation: Uncrossing your legs while engaging in pelvic floor exercises allows for better recruitment and coordination of the pelvic floor muscles.

Cultivating Mind-Body Awareness: By consciously choosing to uncross your legs, you develop a greater awareness of your body and its needs.

So, it's time to uncross those legs and let your pelvic floor breathe and thrive.
