Strengthening Exercises
KEGEL EXERCISES These are the most well-known pelvic floor exercises. They involve contracting and relaxing the pelvic floor muscles. You can do them anytime, anywhere. • Lie on your back with your knees bent and feet flat on the floor. • Put your attention on the muscles in your pelvic floor. • Start by squeezing the muscles as if you are trying to stop the flow of urine or prevent passing gas. • Hold for 3-5 seconds and progress to 5-10 second holds.
