She brings a unique perspective as a senior teacher in the Franklin-Method®, a shiatsu practitioner, and someone who integrates jumping and impact work into pelvic floor rehabilitation.We dive into how the pelvic floor responds during jumping, running, and impact training, the role of imagery and cueing, and why both relaxation and contraction are essential. Dr. Moser also shares insights on slow-twitch vs. fast-twitch fibers, power training for the pelvic floor, and what future research could mean for clinicians and active women.We talk about:-The pelvic floor during impact, jumping, and running-Using imagery for effective cueing-Relaxation and contraction strategies-Power training and the pelvic floor-Slow vs. fast-twitch muscle fibersTime Stamps1:00 Introduction2:48 studying impact and the pelvic floor7:29 displacement of the pelvic floor13:43 the Franklin-Method®21:23 incontinence and the pelvic floor29:23 improving pelvic floor relaxation32:58 introducing impact exercises39:18 learning to relax the pelvic floor44:18 reacting to 2019 UK guidelines48:58 research for the futureCONNECT WITH CARRIEIG: https://www.instagram.com/carriepagliano/Website: https://carriepagliano.comCONNECT WITH HELENE:Website: www.helmos.chThe Active Mom Podcast is A Real Moms' Guide to pregnancy, postpartum, perimenopause & beyond for active moms & the professionals who help them in their journey.
