Why do pelvic floor exercises?




Pelvic floor exercises can strengthen these muscles so that they function effectively again. The more you use them, the stronger they will be!

Strong pelvic floor muscles can support the extra weight of pregnancy, help in the second stage of labour and, by increasing circulation, assist in healing the perineum between the anus and vagina after birth. When done regularly, pelvic floor exercises can help to prevent stress incontinence, bladder weakness and prolapse in later life.

Another benefit of pelvic floor exercises is that women with strengthened pelvic floor muscles are more likely to be orgasmic and have a more satisfying sex life!
