I got this question from a client and it's one of the most common ones I hear.
"Do I have to do my pelvic floor exercises every single day for the rest of my life?"
No, you weren’t meant to spend the rest of your life doing pelvic floor exercises every day. The aim is to get those muscles working automatically again, after pregnancy and birth changed the way your brain and pelvic floor communicate.
Right now, if you're in a daily program, this is the retraining phase. You're consciously practising the lift and squeeze on effort, then the release and lengthen straight after, until your nervous system takes it over and does it automatically, the way it's meant to.
Once that automatic function comes back and your muscles are coordinated and strong, many women don't need a dedicated daily program to maintain it. Getting to that point does, for many women, need a specific, targeted process though, which is exactly what your program is building toward.
Are you still in the stage where you have to consciously think about your pelvic floor exercises or have things started to feel more natural in everyday life? It can take some time for that automatic response to come back.
