Pelvic floor exercises or Kegels involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles in a controlled manner.

As you can see, there are many different types of pelvic floor safe exercises to choose from.
Some women have a greater risk than others of pelvic floor overload with some general exercises. The key to choosing the best physical activities for your body is to know your risk of injury and match this with the appropriate type of exercise.
Most women can exercise safely by knowing the right type of training for their body and avoiding or modifying the activities that carry a greater risk of pelvic floor injury. For example with a knee injury and associated weakness you would usually avoid running. Similarly with a pelvic floor injury such as prolapse and muscle weakness it’s also best to avoid high impact exercise like running.
This Physiotherapy information helps you know your individual risks and choose the best exercises to reach your goals and keep your body safe.
