What Are Pelvic Exercises?
Pelvic exercises involve repeatedly contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. These exercises are designed to improve the strength, support and control provided by the pelvic floor to help women prevent, overcome and better manage some commonly occurring pelvic floor problems.
Pelvic exercises feel like a squeeze and inwards lift of the three openings in and around the area where you sit; the urethra (urine tube), vagina and rectum (bowel opening). A correct pelvic exercise also involves completely relaxing the pelvic floor muscles back to their original resting level.
Pelvic exercises can be challenging and frustrating, particularly when first starting out. Common problems include:
- How to find pelvic floor muscles?
- How to feel pelvic exercises?
- How many exercises to do?
- How long will it take to get stronger?
Quick Tips for Feeling your Pelvic Exercises
- Stop or slow the flow of urine once it has started - try this as a test and no more than once a week.
- Stop wind from passing by drawing up inside your anus - without squeezing your buttocks.
- Feel the inward movement when touching the skin between your vagina and anus.
- Look at the entrance of your vagina with a mirror to see tightening of the entrance and a small inwards movement.
