Pelvic Floor 101
I'm talking all about kegels: what the heck they are, how to do them correctly, who actually needs to do them, and who is better off NOT doing them. Let's dive in!
Key Takeaways
How to do a kegel:
Squeeze around the urethra, vagina, and anus.
Squeeze and lift.
Pretend you are sucking a smoothie up a straw in your vagina.
It's JUST AS IMPORTANT to be able to RELAX the pelvic floor as it is to squeeze.
Use feedback: sit on a towel roll, feel just inside your sitbones for a squeeze, or place a finger inside the vagina to feel the squeeze.
