PÉRINÉE : le muscle oublié qui change tout | Clarisse Ernoux

Urinary incontinence, lower back pain, pelvic organ prolapse, loss of sensation, discomfort during exercise... What if the pelvic floor was one of the most important muscles in your body? Why should we pay attention to it well before pregnancy... and long after? In this episode of Long Live, Lucile Woodward interviews Clarisse Ernoux, a yoga and Pilates instructor specializing in women's wellness, about an essential yet still largely misunderstood topic: the pelvic floor, also known as the perineum. Often reduced to the aftermath of pregnancy or incontinence issues, the pelvic floor plays a fundamental role in posture, breathing, core stability, sexuality, daily comfort, and even healthy aging. During this fascinating conversation, Clarisse Ernoux helps us understand how this area of ​​the body truly functions and why it's never too early—or too late—to take care of it. In this episode, we discuss: What the perineum actually is and how the pelvic floor works The connection between the perineum, diaphragm, breathing, and deep abdominal muscles The signs of a weakened or, conversely, overly contracted perineum Incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and diastasis recti: how to prevent these problems Pregnancy and postpartum: preparing your body before and after childbirth Why constantly sucking in your stomach can be counterproductive The role of stress in perineal dysfunction How to protect your perineum when playing sports Yoga, Pilates, and pelvic mobility: what are the benefits? Sexuality, pleasure, and body confidence Perimenopause and menopause: the hormonal changes you need to know Why the perineum is also a true tool for longevity 👉 And you, did you really know the role of the perineum before this episode?
