ADVICE

Pelvic Floor Therapy Process

  • Pelvic floor therapy involves private sessions with physical exams assessing muscle strength and tension.
  • Therapists tailor treatment to whether muscles need strengthening or relaxing before exercises like Kegels.
ADVICE

How to Pee Properly

  • Avoid pushing or straining when you pee; instead, sit down, relax, lean forward, and breathe deeply.
  • Go when you feel the urge but don't over-frequent urination or 'just in case' peeing habits that shrink bladder capacity.
ADVICE

Pooping Tips for Pelvic Health

  • To poop effectively, sit on the toilet seat with feet elevated on a stool to mimic a squat.
  • Breathe out while bearing down instead of straining or holding your breath to protect your pelvic floor.
