Heal Your Pelvic Floor Without Another Kegel

I specialize in the women the normal pelvic floor advice hasn’t worked for, and I was one of them. I saw many pelvic floor providers and did all of the exercises and protocols, and the pain would not go away.

Our bodies are geniuses that are healing all the time. When you take the pressure off the whole system instead of tightening one area, your pelvic floor has room to heal. Start with Foundation and go slowly.

If you just make your pelvic floor tighter, it’s going to feel tighter, and that means sex isn’t going to feel good. I don’t want to discount that Kegels probably worked for some of you.

They’re like a band-aid, though. They make one area tighter instead of taking the pressure off the whole system, so there are no Kegels in REVIVAL.

These principles cover every stage: before you get pregnant, during pregnancy, during the birth, and long into postpartum.

Diastasis recti is normal in pregnancy, and it heals on its own. Sucking in and tightening your core to knit it back together pulls it further apart. Your diastasis will heal faster with less tightness in your core.

Around birth, move slowly and focus on the Foundations section. Every mama, pregnancy, birth, and recovery is different. Pain is never right.

Yes. Men’s pelvic floors take the same pressure, and these principles can be really helpful with things like having to pee a bunch of times throughout the night, hernias, or dribbling when you pee.

Yes. There’s the Foundation series, a Reshape series for doing bodywork on yourself, and a Regulate series where you can work completely on the floor. Move slowly. Pain is never right.

You can make it fit your life. The theme is made of little videos that fit into your daily life, and you can do them at home, anytime.

We recommend three 20 to 60 minute strength workouts each week, 10 to 60 minute videos on the other days, and Sunday rest for sunshine and family.

Start with Foundation, then move into the pelvic floor videos at your own pace. The themes never go away, so you’ll also find last month’s theme in the library.

No. REVIVAL is month to month, and you can cancel anytime. If you’d rather commit for the year, the annual plan is 12 months for the price of 10 ($490 instead of $588).

Most videos require no special equipment. I’ll let you know what you need before each one.

I recommend moving on a mat or sheepskin rug, outside whenever possible. Occasionally, we’ll use weights, rocks, or a countertop. I’ll show you how to use what you already have or what to purchase.

REPATTERN class requires a larger time commitment, as each video is around an hour. It’s my most in-depth offering, teaching you the anatomy, theory, and foundational principles behind this work.

REVIVAL brings those principles into shorter, easier-to-fit sessions with strength training workouts, without as much of the anatomical backstory.

Start with REPATTERN if you want to deeply understand the theory. Choose REVIVAL if you want more digestible chunks of guidance, or have done REPATTERN already.

REVIVAL is not medical treatment and is not intended to diagnose, treat, or cure any medical condition. It is a movement-based practice designed to help guide the body toward a more natural, healthy, open posture.

These principles have also helped people better support their bodies while experiencing concerns such as diastasis recti, leakage, pelvic floor dysfunction, low-back pain, plantar fasciitis, knee and shoulder discomfort, neck pain, headaches, jaw pain, grinding and clenching, airway concerns, scoliosis, and more.

Your health is your responsibility. Reach out to your provider if you need help.

This is especially for you. Learning how to hold your joints is good for everyone but vital for you. Dr. Lily is hypermobile herself, and after getting diagnosed and not finding good answers on how to support her body, she dove deep into figuring it out for herself.

Take it slow and use a mirror to see what you’re actually doing.
