Using a ball, we will release the pelvic floor before practicing reverse kegels to help relieve pelvic tension and relax the pelvic floor. This is a useful practice if you suffer from a tight pelvic floor or have conditions such as vaginismus, chronic pelvic pain syndrome (CPPS), levator ani syndrome (LAS), prostatitis or some other condition with pelvic floor hypertonicity.

The ball release is 2.5 minutes and we will practice relaxing with reverse Kegels for 8 minutes. This practice can be helpful prior to dilation if you are dealing with vaginismus.

Remember that you are not alone if you are suffering from pelvic floor dysfunction.

Prolapse exercises (Kegels) that can reduce prolapse symptoms, reduce the risk of prolapse worsening and improve pelvic floor strength with Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist and Author Michelle from

PROLAPSE EXERCISES e-Book:

Benefits of Prolapse Exercises

For some women, especially those with mild to moderate prolapse, Kegel exercises with a prolapse can:
1. Relieve symptoms
2. Improve the sitting position of the prolapse
3. Reduce prolapse worsening

This video is suited to women managing:
-Uterine prolapse
-Bowel prolapse (rectocoele)
-Bladder prolapse (cystocoele)

Benefits of Prolapse Exercises

Scientific research has revealed that in women with mild to moderate prolapse, Kegel exercises (pelvic floor exercises) can:

• Decrease how often prolapse symptoms occur (1)
• Reduce the level of severity of vaginal heaviness and bulging symptoms (1,2)
• Lift the bladder and rectum so they sit higher in the pelvis (1)
• Reduce prolapse worsening in some mild prolapse conditions (3)

Correct Technique for Prolapse Exercises

Contract the pelvic floor muscles inside and around the three pelvic openings (urine tube, vagina and anus). Squeeze and lift these three openings using your pelvic floor muscles, breathing normally throughout. Relax your pelvic floor muscles and rest briefly before your next exercise.

How Many Kegel Exercises

When starting out focus on using the correct exercise technique. Complete that number of exercises you can perform with correct technique, even if it’s only 1-2 exercises in a row. Your strength and endurance will improve with practice.

* Maintain each exercise contraction up to 8-10 seconds (or less when starting out)
* Repeat Kegel exercises up to 8-12 times in a row for 1 complete set of exercises
* Try to perform 3 sets of exercises daily.

Physiotherapy Tips for Successful Prolapse Exercises

*Do your Kegel exercises when your pelvic floor is rested (rather than the end of the day)
*Position yourself lying down if your symptoms are bothersome or your pelvic floor feels heavy
*Use a vaginal support pessary with your exercises

Successful pelvic floor strengthening for prolapse takes time. It may take 5-6 months to strengthen your pelvic floor depending on the strength of your muscles when starting out. Seek an appointment with a trained pelvic floor physiotherapist if you require assistance with your prolapse exercises.

Learn how to start your Kegels or pelvic floor exercises after hysterectomy.

Physiotherapist Guide To Pelvic Floor Exercises After Hysterectomy

When to Start Pelvic Floor Exercises?

Most women start pelvic floor exercises around 4-6 weeks after hysterectomy but only with their surgeon’s approval as this can vary from one woman to the next. Seek your surgeon’s approval before recommencing your pelvic floor strengthening exercises after hysterectomy surgery.

Pelvic floor exercises after hysterectomy or any pelvic surgery should be pain free during and after exercising.

This video demonstrates 2 positions for returning to pelvic floor exercises after hysterectomy surgery; lying down and sitting upright. Ideally commence your exercises lying down.

Pelvic Floor Exercise 1: Lying Down Position

Position your body so that you are either lying down on your back with a pillow under your knees, or
on your side with a pillow between your legs for comfort.

Lying down eliminates the downward force of gravity making this a useful position for pelvic floor exercises after hysterectomy.

Lying Down Pelvic Floor Exercise Technique

Before starting out make sure you understand how to find and feel your pelvic floor muscles see

* Try to picture your pelvic floor muscles wrapping in and around your 3 pelvic openings.
* Very gently squeeze and lift inside around your 3 pelvic openings.
* Keep squeezing and lifting for a few seconds.
* Gently relax and lower your pelvic floor muscles back to resting position.
* Breathe deeply to relax your pelvic floor muscles and rest.
* Repeat this exercise again for a total of 1-3 repetitions.

Pelvic Floor Exercise Mistakes to Avoid After Hysterectomy

Some of the common mistakes made doing pelvic floor exercises include:
* Drawing in or pulling in the abdominal muscles strongly
* Squeezing the buttocks or thighs
* Holding the breath rather than breathing normally.

Pelvic floor exercises can be performed daily and kept within the range of personal comfort – avoid overdoing your exercises especially when starting out.

If you experience any discomfort during or after your pelvic floor exercises after hysterectomy stop and let your body heal before recommencing. If any pelvic floor discomfort persists have this assessed by your doctor.

Sitting Upright Pelvic Floor Exercises

Doing upright seated pelvic floor exercises after hysterectomy helps to encourage the pelvic floor muscles to lift upwards against the downward force of gravity. Upright exercises can be used as a progression position from lying down pelvic floor exercises.

* Sit upright on a comfortable chair ideally a dining chair rather than a soft lounge chair.
* Check you have the correct posture for pelvic floor exercises: your spine should be lengthened and you should have the inward curve in your lower back.
* Feel your pelvic floor openings against the surface of the chair.
* Squeeze and lifting in and around your 3 pelvic openings for a few seconds.
* Relax your pelvic floor back to resting position and breathe into your belly.
* Repeat 1-3 exercises in a row within your range of comfort.
* Try to avoid the mistakes listed above when doing seated pelvic floor exercises.

Progressing Your Pelvic Floor Exercises After Hysterectomy

Pelvic floor muscles become stronger when challenged to work harder. This challenge needs to be applied gradually over time as your body heals after surgery.

Techniques to progress pelvic floor strengthening:

* Doing more exercises up to 8-12 consecutive exercises (up to 3 times daily)
* Holding for longer during each exercise up to 10 seconds at a time
* Contracting your pelvic floor muscles strongly
* Doing your exercises standing upright
* Decreasing the rest between exercises
* Contracting your pelvic floor to hold up against the downward force of a cough or sneeze.
