Sit comfortably on a chair with your knees hip distance apart. Breathe normally. On exhalation, squeeze the muscles around your anus, and imagine you are trying to stop yourself from passing wind. The feeling is one of a slight squeeze and lift around your back passage. Hold the contraction for the required length of time, and then relax your anal sphincter muscles. Try to avoid holding your breath, squeezing your legs together or tightening your buttocks. This will help to isolate and strengthen the back of your pelvic floor muscles.

What are Kegels and why are they so important for women, especially after giving birth? Kegel Exercises are essentially clench-and-release exercises for the pelvic floor. However these are deep muscles that are often difficult to find. Here, we share 5 tips on how to do Kegel exercises.
Kegels are exercises that strengthen the pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support the bladder, rectum and uterus or prostate
A well-toned pelvic floor is important especially in women after pregnancy and childbirth.
This is because the pelvic floor often weakens due to the additional weight and pressure during pregnancy.
A first sign of a weak pelvic floor is stress urinary incontinence or involuntary urinary leakage. This often happens during a cough, sneeze or physical exertion.
Kegel exercises are often recommended to strengthen the pelvic floor, and to help with postpartum recovery and intimate health.
A lot of mummies that we see at Orchard Clinic are not aware of how to do Kegel exercises.
Here are 5 tips to take note when doing traditional kegels:
1. Make sure your bladder is empty.
2. Find the right muscles. They’re the same muscles you’d use to stop urine midstream. Or you can imagine squeezing a straw inside your vagina.
3. Relax and do not strain the abdomen, buttocks, back & inner thighs.
4. Breathe! Inhale through the nose & exhale through the mouth. Remember not to hold your breath.
Doing kegels are important to treat urinary incontinence and also for the prevention of pelvic organ prolapse.
At Orchard Clinic in Singapore, we use advanced treatment technology for fast and effective methods to strengthen the pelvic floor. This is important for all women who have gone through pregnancy, and especially important for many of us who face incontinence issues.
It’s important to note that pelvic floor issues should be treated sooner, rather than later.
Reach out to our friendly consultants to find out more.
If you’ve ever had back, hip, or pelvic pain or incontinence that doesn’t go away, a tight pelvic floor might be to blame AND pelvic floor strengthening exercises (kegels) can make this worse.
