Do you have any queuing tips to help students gain a better understanding of how to develope an awareness of how to recruit the pelvic floor?

Thanks for this very informative video.  A question why are birth injuries mainly on the left side? Thanks. Anne

@anne an episiotomy is often done on the right side and this often creates a strong pull on the left side. The scar tissue pulls the left side towards the right.

Thank you so much Claire, I loved this tutorial. I was curious, can incontinence also occur without a prolapse? If so, is it a similar cause of imbalance in the structure, i.e. it is not just a 'weakness' of the pelvic floor?
Claire S
Carina H Incontinence is actually rare with prolapse and is more common in women with hypertonic pelvic floor and over active deep hip muscles. All symptoms are as you very rightly said an imbalance either structural or strategic. I hope this helps. 
Glad you enjoyed the tutorial
Thank you Claire for bringing attention to this issue. I am especially looking for ways to cue so that we engage the pelvic floor and avoid over recruiting of the glutes. Your mention of sciatica was a lightbulb moment for me as well. Thank you for bringing this topic to light so effectively!
