Everything starts with your breath—it’s the foundation for all movement.
Think of your body like a house: your breath is the foundation, and your deep core and posture are the internal framework, like the studs in the walls. If the foundation is unstable, the entire structure becomes misaligned. The same applies to your body. When your core isn’t functioning properly, you may feel “off” without being able to explain why.
Now, picture your core as a canister made up of the diaphragm, abdominal muscles, lower back, and pelvic floor. If there’s a “leak” or weakness in one part (like the often-overlooked pelvic floor) other areas are forced to overcompensate. This imbalance can lead to poor posture, difficulty breathing, core weakness, and a general sense of instability.
When your core canister is balanced and intact (i.e., without any “holes”) your body functions more efficiently. You’ll feel more grounded, supported, and free from the internal tug-of-war that causes discomfort and dysfunction.
What’s Really Causing This?
- Life changes such as pregnancy
- Weight gain or weight loss
- Overall weakness within the body
- The body taking the path of least resistance
- Prolonged changes in posture
What You Might Be Feeling
- Nagging back pain
- Tightness within hips or low back
- Leakage
- Pooching of your core with attempted activation
- Feeling like you can't get a full breath of air without using your chest
Why This Matters
If your foundation of breath, posture, and core stability are misaligned, this can lead to further issues such as leakage, sense of heaviness, and back pain. Now, the fix isn’t just going to the gym and repping out a bunch of sit-ups, it’s about learning to reconnect the whole system, so the issues don’t return. If you were to just go rep out a bunch of sit-ups without addressing the underlying issue, you more than likely are going to make the problem worse, leaving you defeated and embarrassed in your own body.

Discover What Other Women Are Sharing About Their Results
Hear from women just like you who proudly share their experience.
Sara has transformed both my health and quality of life in ways I couldn't even begin to imagine before seeing her.
For 10 years, I met with specialists who couldn't pinpoint how to improve my condition. For 5 years, I gave up looking for a solution altogether.
On day 1 of meeting with Sara, she carefully discovered the root cause and uncovered 2 other issues I didn't realize were interconnected. Most importantly, I've experienced positive improvements with each visit and on a plan to continue to improve.
I highly recommend Sara at Prosper Physical Therapy and Pelvic Rehab for pelvic floor dysfunction, diaphragm issues and constipation.
