The pelvic floor muscles are incredibly important for pelvic health and function, especially during pregnancy. During pregnancy, women may experience incontinence, increased abdominal pressure, and back and pelvic pain. After birth, many of these issues may persist.
Training the pelvic floor muscles can help reduce issues with leakage, improve support of the pelvic and abdominal muscles, and help in reducing back and pelvic pain for women preparing for pregnancy, pregnant women, and postpartum women.

Sit comfortably on a chair with your knees hip distance apart. Imagine that you are trying to stop your flow of urine mid-stream at the same time as stopping yourself from passing wind. The feeling is one of squeeze and lift around your front and back passages. You may feel more happening at the front or conversely around your bottom. As long as you can feel a tightening in at least one of these areas, you will be exercising your pelvic floor. Try to avoid pulling in your tummy, squeezing your legs together, tightening your buttocks or holding your breath. Send your breath into your abdomen, and on exhalation gently squeeze and lift with your pelvic floor muscles. Practice a few times and then try and maintain this lift as you continue to inhale and exhale. Strengthening your pelvic floor while continuing to breathe naturally can help with stress incontinence when coughing or sneezing.

Once you know how to do Kegel exercises, you can do them anytime and anywhere. In the car. Waiting in line at the shops. In the privacy of your own home. The hard part is doing them correctly. This is why I will show you step by step how to master Kegel exercises.
What are Kegel Exercises?
Kegel exercises are exercises that you can do to make the muscles of your pelvic floor stronger.
Once you know how to do Kegel exercises, you can do them anytime and anywhere. In the car. Waiting in line at the shops. In the privacy of your own home.
Kegel Exercises are Pelvic Floor Exercises.
They are promoted as the starting point for building pelvic floor strength. You must learn how to correctly strengthen your pelvic floor muscles.
During pregnancy and after childbirth, your pelvic floor muscles are lengthened and weakened. This can cause incontinence.
If you strengthen your pelvic floor then you will be helping to prevent, or reduce, the severity of incontinence. Continue doing your Kegels all the way into your third trimester.
Kegel exercises can help to protect you from leaking urine during and also after your baby is born.
Kegel Exercise Tips
1. Perform these exercises slowly, with control.
2. Think about gently activating your pelvic floor not ‘squeezing’ or ‘clenching’.
3. Only complete as many repetitions as you feel comfortable doing.
More is not better, it is all about quality and technique.
4. If you are unsure whether you are performing the pelvic floor exercises correctly, book in with a women’s health physiotherapist.
5. A physiotherapist will be able to tell you if you are activating correctly. And whether there are aspects of your pelvic floor you need to work on.

How Do I Perform these Exercises?
Learning how to do Kegel exercises can be difficult for some. Unlike other strengthening exercises where you distinctly see and feel the muscle being worked.
It takes some practice to perform Kegels correctly. But once you know what the movement feels like, aim to perform Kegel exercises 3 times a day.
I want you to breathe deeply and relax your body when you are doing these exercises.
Make sure you are not tightening your stomach, thigh, buttock, or chest muscles.
Some exercises place more stress on the pelvic floor than others.
So, it’s important you learn what to do, and what not to do.
Discuss any concerns with your doctor prior or women’s health physiotherapist to commencing exercise. This ensures that all exercises and activities are appropriate for you.
When you perform pelvic floor exercises you must use the correct technique to ensure maximum benefit.
In my classes, as well as in my online program, I will show you how to effectively activate your pelvic floor muscles.
I will also provide you with pelvic floor routines that consist of short and long holds. I show when you are activating pelvic floors incorrectly.
The key is to learn how to ‘let go’ and disengage your pelvic floor. Watch this instructional video below on pelvic floor.

This postpartum Kegels routine helps you recover strength, sensation and tone in your pelvic floor. Pelvic Floor Physio Michelle from guides you through these simple postnatal exercises after vaginal delivery or c/section. This beginners postnatal Kegels exercise routine helps you restore your pre-pregnancy pelvic floor strength and can improve postpartum bladder and bowel control problems.
This Kegels routine commences with basic beginners-level Kegel exercises lying down on your bed at home. When starting Kegels after childbirth you may find these exercises easiest to do lying on your side or on your back. Start out by locating and feeling your pelvic floor muscles using gentle pelvic floor contractions.

Repeat your Kegel exercises using the correct technique that is described in this video. Try to contract (tighten) your pelvic floor muscles for up to 3 seconds and repeat these exercises up to 6-8 times in a row. Rest and recover for at least 6 seconds in between each exercise.
Postpartum recovery can take up to 6 months of Kegel exercises. Doing this Kegels routine at least 5 days of the week will help you restore strength and tone in your pelvic floor. You can progress the duration of your Kegel exercises, the strength or your holds and change from lying down to sitting and standing exercises with your postnatal recovery.

How to do Kegel Exercises for bladder control with Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist Michelle Kenway from Learn the 2 Kegel Exercises for controlling bladder urgency, storing bladder contents and stopping unwanted bladder leakage. Michelle also shows you how to feel your Kegel exercises to strengthen pelvic floor muscles and improving bladder control.
Finding Your Pelvic Floor Muscles
Your pelvic floor muscles sling like a hammock between you sit bones from side to side and front to back from your pubic bone to your tailbone.
Your pelvic floor muscles encircle your anus, vagina and urethra (urine tube). They can help you stop or slow the flow of urine when contracted as a test to see how they are working.
Two Types of Kegel Exercises for Bladder Control:
1. Long Slow Kegel Exercises – for bladder storage & support
2. Short Strong Kegel Exercises – stop bladder leakage with cough, sneeze, laugh or lift
A. Technique for Long Slow Kegel Exercises
*Sit with tall posture
*Squeeze and lift the muscles in and around your 3 pelvic openings
*Keep lifting and squeezing for 3-10 seconds (or even a few seconds if this is what you can manage)
*Breathe normally
*Lower your pelvic floor muscles back to starting position
*Relax and rest briefly before your next attempt
Start out with the number of exercises you can comfortably manage.
Repeat 8-12 Kegel Exercises, 3 times daily holding each exercise for 3-10 seconds.
B. Technique for Short Strong Kegel Exercises
*Sit with tall posture
*Squeeze and lift the muscles in and around your 3 pelvic openings with a quick brisk action
*Lower your pelvic floor muscles back to starting position
*Repeat up to 10 short Kegel exercises in a row
Start out repeating this exercise for that number of contractions that you can manage with the correct technique.
Practice these short contractions daily. Try to increase the strength of the contractions as you pelvic floor strength improves.
Kegel Exercises for Bladder Control
Use these quick contractions before and during every cough, sneeze or laugh. You need to contract your pelvic floor muscles before and during the activities that place pressure on your bladder causing bladder leakage.
Relax your pelvic floor muscles back to resting when you are not doing your exercises. Avoid walking or running with your pelvic floor muscles contracted as this practice can cause pelvic floor muscle tension and pelvic pain.
