How to activate your Transverse Abdominis Muscle & Pelvic Floor

Three ways to activate the transverse abdominis or TVA muscle and the pelvic floor muscles.
These deep core or inner core muscles can help with urinary continence, bladder control, spinal stability back pain and even sexual function so they are worth exercising and strengthening. In this video I (Daniel Lawrence) Physical therapist (Physiotherapist UK) show you three TVA activation drills.

Is the fluffy dog on the chair mandatory? I hope so. 😍

Is this anyway similar to stomach vacuums ? Where you breathe all the way out and pull in your stomach as far as you can . You feel all the muscles mentioned engage and tighten . Hold for as long as you can and relax . Repeat as often as you feel you can . Over time you can hold it for longer and repeat more often

quick question, should the spine be flat or slightly arched? or neutral? I always always feel it in my low back
