Your Longevity Blueprint 167: Pelvic Floor and Fascial Health Part 2 with Erica Ziel
I am delighted to have Erica Ziel joining me for Part 2 of our two-part series on pelvic floor and fascial health. Today, we continue discussing how to create space in your body through movement and posture, the importance of your pelvic floor for quality of life and pain reduction, and the role fascia plays in longevity. We also dive deep into her thoughts on stretching and deep breathing.
This is a two-part series, so I advise you to go back and listen to Part 1 first if you have not already done so.
Key factors to address to prevent back pain:
- Postural imbalances
- Pelvic health
- Deep core muscle activation
