Pelvic floor exercises: the ‘dos’ and ‘don’ts’

Thanks to more and more newspapers speaking about pelvic floor exercises, awareness is now growing that women can fix their pelvic floor issues. But Kegel exercises are not the only pelvic floor rehabilitation exercises that exist.

New modern pelvic floor assessment techniques (like women’s health assessment or Mummy MOT) and new pelvic floor exercises based on hypopressive gymnastic, have proved to be more efficient and to target more precise areas of the pelvic floor.

The causes can be various: whether it is because of an overuse injury during a sports activity (cycling, rowing) or after a fall.
