Pelvic floor exercises are taught to women as second nature, especially after childbirth. We are told to do them whilst watching TV, doing the washing up, or standing at the bus stop.
In reality it is not so easy. The most difficult aspect that we hear in our customer feedback is the is the ability to isolate the pelvic muscles and exercise them effectively - we have all done the squeezes and wondered, "Am I doing it correctly?" Women are told to squeeze, to stop their wee during midstream, lots of women can do that instinctively (some of us have had lots of practice of stopping ourselves!), unfortunately that doesn't help those of us who suffer spontaneous leakage when we least expect it.
When practising the "squeezing" techniques women are also to do the following:
# Pulling in their tummy
# Squeeze their legs together
# Tighten their buttocks
# Hold their breath
Crikey, remember as a child patting your head and circling your stomach? We have found when a woman uses a product specifically designed to exercise her pelvic floor she is then able to do the exercises more thoroughly and she will achieve greater success.
Pelvic exercisers help to isolate the pelvic floor muscles effectively, by isolating these muscles, we mean the muscles are specifically worked - this gets the best results. By effectively isolating the muscles we all get the best results and our pelvic floor muscles work as nature intended. Women tell us they find it difficult to use their pelvic floor muscles in isolation at first because they are doubtful that they have effectively located the correct muscles. Pelvic exercises are so much easier with a Pelvic exerciser However any woman can do Pelvic Floor Exercises any time of the day, anywhere.
