We all know what it feels like to carry tension in the neck. That creeping stiffness after a long day at the desk, the tight jaw when we’re stressed, or the shoulders that seem to live up by our ears. But your neck isn’t just an isolated area of tension, it’s part of a whole system that links directly to your breathing, your posture, and even your pelvic floor.

Let’s unpack why necks get tight, what this does to your 360° breathing and pelvic floor, and what you can do to change the pattern.

When we think about healing pelvic floor dysfunction, we often think about exercises, physio appointments, or breathing drills. But the truth is: it’s not just about what you do in class or clinic. It’s what you do all day long that really shapes how your pelvic floor responds, recovers, and supports you.

The way we lift, sit, stand, carry, sleep, and clean can either reinforce dysfunction—or quietly build strength, resilience, and ease.

This post will walk you through 8 everyday movements—with the why, the how, and what to avoid—so you can turn your daily life into a healing practice.
