There are many ways to strengthen a weak pelvic floor, but it’s important to make sure you don’t have pelvic floor tension first. Contrary to popular belief, Kegels aren’t the only way to build strength. In most cases, targeted deep core exercises are highly effective because your pelvic floor is part of your deep core muscles. Strengthening your core and improving balance can help support your pelvic floor.
Everyone’s body is different, so what works for one person may not work as well for another. That’s why, even with all the exercise guides and videos available online, many people benefit from 1:1 pelvic floor therapy. In fact, about 50% of individuals have trouble activating their pelvic floor muscles correctly and need expert guidance to do it right.
