The start of a new year is the perfect time to reflect on the past and set fresh intentions for the future. Whether you want to improve your fitness, manage stress better, or achieve a greater sense of well-being, wellness goals are a powerful way to transform your health in 2025.
At Auria Pelvic Health, we specialize in pelvic floor therapy, and we understand that wellness goes beyond just physical fitness. Your pelvic health plays a central role in your overall quality of life, affecting everything from bladder control to posture to sexual health.
When pelvic floor dysfunction is left unaddressed, it can hinder your progress toward your other wellness goals, making it harder to live your best life.
This year, we encourage you to include pelvic health as a core part of your wellness resolutions. Here are some simple yet impactful ways to set meaningful wellness goals for 2025, focusing on strengthening your pelvic floor and improving overall health.
1. Commit to Prioritizing Pelvic Health
Most people don’t think about their pelvic floor until a problem arises—but neglecting this essential area of the body can lead to long-term issues. Your pelvic floor supports your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, and it plays a key role in maintaining balance, posture, and core strength.
If you’ve been experiencing symptoms like urinary incontinence, pelvic pressure, pain during intercourse, or lower back discomfort, it's time to make pelvic health a priority. Pelvic floor exercises, such as Kegels or other targeted strengthening techniques, can help restore muscle tone and improve function, but they can also make things worth. It’s important to get an accurate assessment of your pelvic floor by a traines specialist before beginning new exercises.
2. Improve Core Strength and Stability
A strong core isn’t just about sculpting your abs—it’s about building a foundation for the entire body. Your core supports your pelvis and spine, and without it, other areas of your body (including the pelvic floor) can become strained.
As you work toward wellness this year, focus on exercises that improve both pelvic floor and core strength. Pilates, yoga, and specific core stabilization exercises can be excellent for building a balanced and supportive midsection.
3. Incorporate Mindfulness for Stress Management
Stress is an inevitable part of life, but it can also take a significant toll on your physical and mental health—especially when it comes to pelvic health.
Pelvic tension, whether from stress, anxiety, or muscle imbalances, can lead to pelvic pain, discomfort, and even urinary or bowel issues. Additionally, the effects of stress on the body’s autonomic nervous system can disrupt sleep and energy levels.
To achieve true wellness in 2025, commit to reducing stress through regular mindfulness practices, such as meditation, deep breathing, or progressive muscle relaxation.
These practices can help relax your pelvic floor, improve your body’s response to stress, and support better emotional well-being.
Dedicate 10–15 minutes a day to stress-reducing activities like mindfulness, deep breathing, or yoga. Find a method that works for you, and make it part of your daily wellness routine.
4. Set Realistic Fitness Goals and Gradually Build Strength
Whether you’re a seasoned runner or just starting a fitness routine, setting realistic fitness goals is essential for long-term success. However, it’s important to approach exercise with care, especially if you’ve experienced pelvic health issues (such as after pregnancy, surgery, or menopause).
High-impact exercises like running, jumping, or heavy lifting can strain the pelvic floor if not approached with the right technique. Gradually build strength in the pelvic floor and core before jumping into more intense workouts. A physical therapist specializing in pelvic health can provide guidance on proper form and recommend appropriate exercises.
Set realistic fitness milestones that take pelvic health into consideration. Work with a pelvic health expert to develop a gradual fitness plan that includes both pelvic floor rehabilitation and strength training.
5. Prioritize Sleep and Recovery
Quality sleep is essential for physical and emotional recovery, but pelvic health issues—such as incontinence, pelvic pain, or discomfort—can interfere with restful sleep. Pelvic health dysfunction may lead to frequent nighttime trips to the bathroom, difficulty finding a comfortable sleep position, or pain that disrupts your ability to relax.
In 2025, make a commitment to improving your sleep quality by addressing any pelvic floor dysfunction that may be affecting your rest. Also, incorporate relaxation techniques to help calm your mind and body before bedtime, such as a warm bath, gentle stretching, or relaxation exercises.
Focus on sleep hygiene and work with a pelvic health specialist if you’re experiencing issues like incontinence or pelvic pain that disrupt your sleep. Aim for 7–8 hours of quality rest each night to help restore energy and improve overall wellness.
6. Learn More About Pelvic Health and Wellness
Many people are unaware of the importance of pelvic health until an issue arises. By educating yourself on the function and care of the pelvic floor, you can prevent dysfunction and enhance your overall wellness.
Whether it’s through workshops, books, or speaking with a specialist, gaining a deeper understanding of your pelvic health can empower you to take proactive steps to protect your body.
7. Commit to Regular Check-ups
Just like any other area of health, pelvic health requires routine check-ups to ensure that everything is functioning optimally. Many pelvic health issues, such as urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and sexual dysfunction, can be managed or even prevented with early intervention.
In 2025, consider making regular pelvic health check-ups part of your wellness routine, especially if you’re experiencing symptoms that could indicate pelvic dysfunction. A trained pelvic health specialist can assess your condition, provide therapy or treatment. recommendations, and ensure that you’re on track for optimal health.
