Easy Pelvic Floor Care Routine
Updated: May 22
There seems to be a lack of teaching in this area. If you, like me, have ever struggled with your pelvic floor here are 4 easy steps you can do to improve your pelvic floor care routine.
Kegels are a must: Building the intricate and small muscles located on the pelvic floor is essential for lasting strength. It is important to create a cue in your life where you will practice your kegels. When is a good time for you to practice your kegels? Is it when you see your pillow at night? Is it when you’re stopped at a red light? This video is a great place to start if you don’t even know how to do a kegel, see kegel video below.
Engage your core as much as you can - your core muscles come down towards your vaginal muscles. The more you can engage your kegel muscles when you stand up and sit down + your core muscles (abdominals) the more you will be able to sustain a proper position for your pelvic bones and floor. Tip: Be sure to support your lower back when you sit. Chairs need to be firm and comfortable (pillow recommendation below).
Exercise regularly with awareness - I have found that if I just take a walk regularly every day, my pelvic floor is stronger. Walking is a very beneficial exercise. Look for coaches and experts who understand women’s hormones and how a woman’s body works.
Take care of your vagina - practice proper hygiene and care before, during, and after periods. During intercourse and while practicing proper hygiene routines. Period hygiene includes how long a tampon stays in to how you support your body through foods and choices for PMS and Periods.
