130- Core Exercises & Pelvic Floor Healing Strategies… From the Couch

---

Season 3 Episode 130

---

Think you need intense workouts, endless kegels, or hours at the gym to heal your pelvic floor and core? Nope. 💛

In fact, some of the most powerful healing practices you can do happen while you’re resting — yes, even while laying on your couch.

In this episode of Pelvic Floor, Core & More, Dr. Desiree Cassell, pelvic floor physical therapist, shows you how recovery, breathwork, fascia release, and gentle movement can start restoring your pelvic floor and core from the most accessible place: home, rest, and yes — the couch.

Because healing isn’t about pushing harder. It’s about working smarter with your body.

💡 Inside This Episode You’ll Learn:

• ✅ Why couch-based recovery is one of the smartest ways to start healing postpartum.
  
  

• ✅ How laying down supports your nervous system — and why that matters for pelvic floor healing.
  
  

• ✅ 5 simple things you can do while lying on the couch:
  
  

• Breathwork resets
  
  

• Body scan/Body Check method
  
  

• Gentle pelvic floor release + connection
  
  

• Fascia release for hips, belly, thighs
  
  

• Micro-movements like heel slides + bridges
  
  

• ✅ The most common mistakes women make (and what to avoid).
  
  

• ✅ Why rest is not weakness — it’s the foundation for strength and confidence.
  
  

🌸 Why This Matters:

Postpartum healing doesn’t require hours in the gym. It requires reconnecting with your body, breath, and core system. Starting small — even from your couch — can set the foundation for sustainable strength and symptom-free movement.

You don’t need to do more. You just need to do the right things, in the right order.
