Exercises for the Pelvic Floor

The pelvic floor is formed by a set of muscles and ligaments that are at the base of the pelvis. Its function is to support and allow for the proper functioning of the pelvic organs: bladder, urethra, uterus, vagina, and rectum.

The pelvic floor muscles can become weak due to various factors such as aging, the impact of pregnancy and childbirth, surgeries, inactivity, or hormones.

If the pelvic floor muscles get weak, they cannot support the bladder and urethra against the force of gravity, which leads to some disorders such as urinary incontinence, lower back pain, or sexual dysfunction.
What many women do not know is that the pelvic floor can be exercised to prevent these
complications that affect the quality of life.

These exercises are ideal for regaining sphincter control. They consist of contracting the pelvic muscles, pretending that you have to urinate but holding back.

The Core is like the corset of the body and helps protect the pelvis. Exercises that involve this area are important to work the body’s center of gravity.
