So they are one exercise.
It's like saying if you have back pain, just do crunches.
It definitely takes more than that.
If you want stronger pelvic floor muscles, this is the way to start, but you have to do longer contractions, different positions, and build them into strength training.
Absolutely.
I think, you know, one of the biggest mistakes, and this is getting better, is that we were all taught to like just hold these muscles super tight all the time, like suck your belly button in, tighten your vagina.
And it's actually, again, about relaxation of these muscles.
To accommodate something internally, we need to be able to relax these muscles and soften.
That's going to help with blood flow, lubrication.
And if you're just walking around tight all of the time, particularly in today's environment, that's going to lead to discomfort with intercourse and difficulty with orgasms.
It's common, but it's not normal.
Leakage and pain are information from your body that something's not working the way it should be.
When you cough or sneeze, these muscles should contract to hold in urine in your bladder.
If they're relaxing and they're leaking, that could be a weakness issue.
It could be in coordination or tension issue.
It could be your bladder's not emptying well.
So
It's a sign that your pelvic floor needs some work.
And this is where myself as a pelvic floor therapist comes in to help you retrain these muscles.
Well, the first is it's always step one is awareness.
