Transversus Abdominis and Pelvic Floor Exercise

Susan McLaughlin, PT demonstrates the role of the transversus abdominis (TRA) and pelvic floor during the respiration cycle. She also demonstrates TRA activation on the exhale while pelvic floor remains relaxed. The TRA and PF work in synchrony during the breathing cycle, however, the muscles should be able to work in isolation from each other. This exercise is useful to prepare for labor.

Hi, thanks for the vid. Can I get some help from you? I've got some problems related to (maybe) transversus and abs muscles. Have a hard time getting rid of them on my own... :) Would be glad to discuss it, thanks!
