Pelvic Health with Dr. Kelly Sadauckas

Almost every woman has questions about her pelvic floor — but very few have ever been taught the basics of pelvic anatomy, how to do a self-assessment, or the foundational exercises that underlie treatment for many pelvic health conditions.

In this 40-minute Ovella LIVE conversation, Dr. Kelly Sadauckas, DPT — founder of Pelvic Floored — walks through pelvic anatomy in plain language, guides a self-assessment so you can actually learn what your own pelvic floor is doing, and teaches her foundational Big 3.

The Big 3

Three breath-based pelvic floor exercises every woman should learn:

1. Relaxed Breathing — how to access and down-regulate the pelvic floor
2. Kegel & Relax — how to contract and, just as importantly, fully release
3. Supported Breath — how to coordinate the pelvic floor with breath and pressure

These three skills are the starting point for addressing leaking, urgency, prolapse, painful sex, constipation, pelvic pain, and many of the other conditions Dr. Sadauckas teaches in her self-paced courses at Pelvic Floored.
