PELVIC FLOOR EXERCISES AND STRENGTHENING TREATMENTS

The thought of pelvic floor health may have never entered your mind; however pelvic floor dysfunction is something that can affect all of us. Men, women, young and old – everyone!

How Are the Pelvic Floor Muscles Structured?

The pelvic cavity contains the reproductive organs, bladder, rectum, and part of the urethra. There are a number of muscles that help support the walls of the pelvic cavity and keep everything where it should be. The specific muscles lining the inferior lining of the pelvic cavity are known as the pelvic floor muscles.

Collectively, these muscles are called the levator ani and coccygeus muscles. They perform some critical bodily functions. They support the pelvic and abdominal viscera (which includes most of the abdominal organs). They also play key roles in sexual function, childbirth, and continence. If the pelvic floor muscles aren’t functioning properly, it can impact your quality of life. Fortunately, you can receive help from Alexandria pelvic floor specialists. Receiving pelvic floor therapy can help strengthen the muscles of the pelvic floor and reduce your symptoms.

Pelvic Floor Exercises You Can Do at Home

Alexandria pelvic floor specialists may recommend that you perform certain exercises at home to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles. These exercises should not take the place of professional pelvic floor physical therapy. However, they may help you speed up or maintain the results you receive through therapy. Kegel exercises are some of the most common types of exercises recommended for pelvic floor dysfunction. Here’s how to do them:

Be sure to breathe normally throughout the exercise. Don’t hold your breath or flex the muscles in your buttocks or abdomen. At first, it will be difficult to perform Kegel exercises. But as the muscles of your pelvic floor become stronger, it should become easier for you.
