You know whole body pelvic health makes sense. So why does the Kegel question keep coming back?
In this episode, Claire Sparrow goes into one of the most common and persistent questions she receives from women who are already doing the work. They feel it. They understand it. And they still want to know: do I still need to do my pelvic floor exercises?
Claire talks about why that question is not a failure of understanding but a very understandable response to years of authority, inheritance and dismissal. The professionals who said squeeze. The systems that looked at one part of your body without seeing the whole. The moments when you went looking for help and came away feeling smaller.
This episode is an invitation to come back to yourself. To recognise your own body as a source of information. To sit with the felt sense of what is working and let that be part of how you make decisions, alongside the guidance of others.
