If you have massively improved your pelvic floor function, how did you do it?

[Kfjsjdbd]

I’ve had two kids (both planned c section so no pushing), and my pelvic floor has been impacted. I can run, I can bounce on a trampoline, but any time I cough I wee myself a little bit. I’ve seen a womens health physio, who did an examination, said everything was fine physically and that the proper pelvic response isn’t happening when I cough.

I’m totally fed up of it. It’s so impactful on my life. I’ve got to the point where I’m prepared to invest in an Elvie if it works, or something similar? Also have two very young kids, a full time job and a house renovation in progress so life is so crazy that I will probably forget to do it. Argh.

Help?!

As @PurpleBaskets says, check for DR. I never found kegels very good, but squats and glute bridges have been incredibly effective for me. That said, covid plus bronchitis plus trampoline was still a challenge last week.

I had damage to the muscles after an instrumental delivery and bad tearing. I had specialist pelvic floor physio for 6 months (i’m in Switzerland) and also got a pelvic floor toning device (electrically stimulates the muscles - like a slendertone).

Zero problems now.

Stomach vacuuming. TMI maybe but after 5 vag, 1 caesarean, total hysterectomy, can still very much “grip” , no issues re coughing etc.
bit like @RobotValkyrie I think

My problem was running. The efemia device has given me my life back. £50 but so worth it. I also have the aquaflex which of course I don't use...

@JohnnyMcGrathSaysFuckOff

I had 3 DC in 37 months incl twins. It's not perfect but what made a big improvement was Aquaflex cones.

They are not pricey, about £15 off Amazon. They are weights you use to exercise the muscles. I put mine in on a morning in the shower and take them out just before school run. You can build up the weights progressively.

I personally don't see how just clenching a weight bearing muscle will really strengthen it. I think you need to provide resistance.

Do you just pop them in and leave them in? Or do you do pelvic floor exercises with them in?

Kegel8 and lots of orgasms

Hello just got one question I’ve got a mild uterine prolapse so I bought a pelvic floor toner been using it for 2 days and today I started to feel vibrations/twitching down there don’t know if it’s normal or not has anyone had the same feeling down there after using it??

Reformer Pilates

Yes the squeezy app. Reminds me 4 x a day.

Physio said you should feel improvement within a month. Many people don’t do them correctly, you are supposed to squeeze you bum hole as well.

Google gusset grippers, she’s a pelvic floor physio and has full instructions on her site.

Yoga and pilates have been the only things that have worked for me. I couldn't run, bounce,cough, sneeze even getting up off the sofa I used to wee myself.

hi
anyone used Buff Muff wellness exercises?
