🌱 What it is
A simple exercise routine that contracts and releases the pelvic floor muscles to build strength and improve bladder control.
✨ Why it's good for you
- Can improve bladder control over time
- No equipment needed and can be done anywhere
- Supports pelvic floor health generally
🥄 How to use it
Contract the pelvic floor muscles (as if stopping urine flow) and hold briefly, doing sets of 6-8 contractions per session, working up to 50-100 contractions spread across the day.
How much: 6-8 contractions per session, working up to 50-100 daily
Why it works: Regularly strengthening the perineal and pelvic floor muscles helps restore the muscular support needed for urinary control.
⚠️ Cautions
- Do not hold your breath while contracting.
- Avoid exhausting the muscles with excessive repetitions in one sitting; build up gradually.
- See a doctor if incontinence is sudden, severe, or accompanied by pain.
