Posture & the pelvic floor: upright from your core

In short: An upright, relaxed posture begins in your core. The pelvic floor supports the pelvis and spine from below – together with the abdominal and back muscles. If the core is weak or poorly activated, posture is more likely to slump. Targeted training can strengthen the core. If you have symptoms, please seek medical advice.

Overview

Why good posture begins in the core

Standing and sitting upright is muscle work – and it happens deep inside the body. Together with the deep abdominal muscles, the deep back muscles and the diaphragm, the pelvic floor forms your core. This muscle group aligns the pelvis and stabilizes the spine from within. If the pelvic floor is weakened or poorly activated – from long periods of sitting, after pregnancy, or simply with age – holding an upright posture effortlessly becomes harder. The good news: your core can be trained.

Upright vs. slumped

Two Starting positions

Stable core
  • Pelvis aligned, spine supported
  • Upright posture made easy
  • More confidence under strain & in everyday life
Weak core
  • Pelvic floor barely noticeable or weakened
  • Posture slumps more easily
  • Tension can increase

Posture problems have many possible causes. Whatever is behind yours should be medically assessed — this guide is no substitute for a diagnosis or physiotherapy.

How MyPelvi helps

The deep core, precisely activated.

Traditional training often fails because the pelvic floor is hard to feel. MyPelvi activates it in a targeted way: you sit fully clothed for 22 minutes, guided by trained staff. This helps you build awareness, strength and control in your core – a foundation for a stable, upright posture. Results vary from person to person; MyPelvi is no substitute for medical treatment or physiotherapy.
