The Misconception Pelvic Floor Issues
Having A Proper Plan to Obtain Good Pelvic Floor Function
Pelvic floor exercises are a great way to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and address a variety of pelvic floor issues. However, performing these exercises correctly can be tricky, which is why having a trained Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist is so important. They can help you identify the correct muscles to target and ensure that you are performing the exercises correctly.
Some examples of pelvic floor exercises include:
- Kegels: Squeeze and hold your pelvic floor muscles for 3-5 seconds, then relax for 3-5 seconds. Repeat this cycle 10-15 times in a row.
- Bridges: Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the ground. Squeeze your glutes and lift your hips off the ground, engaging your pelvic floor muscles as you do so.
- Squats: Stand with your feet hip-width apart and slowly lower yourself into a squat position, engaging your pelvic floor muscles as you do so. Return to standing and repeat.
Having a trained Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist can also help you identify any issues with your pelvic floor muscles and create a personalized exercise plan that is tailored to your needs. We can also teach you how to relax your pelvic floor muscles, which is just as important as strengthening them.
It’s important to note that many pelvic floor exercises can be done at home, making it easy to incorporate them into your daily routine. A member of our team can teach you how to perform these exercises correctly and provide guidance and support as you work towards optimal pelvic health.
