bladder Problems? These Pelvic Floor Exercises Will Help You

In the US alone, 25 million adults suffer with it.

Dr. David Glazier is co-director of the Pelvic Floor Centre in Richmond, and I quote him. “People think that urinary incontinence which happens very slowly and can become very inconvenient, are all part of the aging process.”

But it doesn’t necessarily have to be that way. This condition can also occur to various age groups, and not just with the older folks.

- Women, both pre and post-natal

- Athletes who perform extreme sports

- People suffering from great stress

- Those who have had prolapse

There are various medical procedures that can be done but there is one way for you to treat it safely and effectively. You are definitely going to feel better after a few weeks of continuously doing pelvic floor exercises. During pilates sessions, I teach these exercises. Actually, I’m proof of the pudding because I did suffer a prolapsed some years ago, but there is no sign of it any longer.

Pelvic Floor muscles are shaped like a sling or hammock at the base of your torso, below your abdomen. These muscles help in holding everything up. No wonder they deteriorate over time with all that work!

It’s best to do these pelvic floor exercises on your back, with knees bent.

- Inhale deeply

- Exhale slowly and draw your pelvic floor muscles into your body by means of contraction. Please note that this has to be done while you’re exhaling.

- Tip for women : Draw up area around vagina

- A tip for men: The testicles need to be drawn up.

There is no harm in trying these exercises because they’re safe and has a success rate of 50%. It really works!
