Bladder urgency or incontinence?! Try these!
Kegels are where we start, always. As they focus on isolated coordination of your pelvic floor.
But if you've got bladder urgency, leaking, or you're just ready to strengthen your pelvic floor, we need to progress you beyond that.
These four exercises are a bit more advanced. They work your whole body because your pelvic floor needs support from your glutes, your hips, pelvic girdle...to work optimal. That's what makes the difference, when we move into functional training/rehab for pelvic floor health.
This is how we train it at The StrongHER Physio!

The secret sauce behind empowered, comfortable births 🤰
During pregnancy, your body is designed to adapt and move to create space for your baby.
Certain positions can help baby engage, rotate, and descend through the different stages of labour.
Three exercises I come back to often in birth prep with my patients:
💫 Deep squats to help baby settle deeper into the pelvis.
💫Adductor rocks to create pelvic movement and encourage rotation.
💫Child's pose with internal rotation to open the pelvic outlet.
Your body is creating space, movement, and direction so your little one can move through with ease.
Save 📌 these exercises for your birth prep toolkit, or send them to an expectant friend.
Check out the blog post positions to support labour or follow for more tips.
