Who needs pelvic training?
Pelvic training is recommended for:
1.First time mothers preparing for pregnancy and childbirth. It is best to strengthen the pelvic floor before pregnancy, so that the pelvic floor can handle the stress that pregnancy brings. It is even more crucial for mothers to continue pelvic training after delivery in order to heal and strengthen their pelvic floor from the strain of pregnancy.
2. Mothers with multiple children. With each pregnancy, the pelvic floor muscle is increasingly strained, and focused rehabilitation is necessary to rejuvenate it to its optimal health.
3. Women who have experienced any of the following symptoms:
- One or more episodes of involuntary leaking.
- Decline in quality of sex life.
- Perpetual back pain
The most common causes of strain to the pelvic floor muscle are:
- Pregnancy & childbirth
Pregnancy is the number one cause for pelvic floor muscle weakening in women, regardless of the method of delivery. During pregnancy, the weight of the baby is fully supported by the pelvic floor muscle for 9 consecutive months, causing a huge strain on the pelvic floor and is the main reason mothers experience a decline in sexual satisfaction and episodes of urinary incontinence during/after pregnancy, which continues into the later stages of their lives.
- Frequent coughing,Long term sneezing
- Heavy lifting
- Physically active lifestyle
- Aging & genetics
The pelvic floor muscle can only be strengthened by pelvic training.Just like all the other muscles in our body, they become stronger with pelvic exercise. The more we train them, the stronger they become.
