Practice Kegels
Perform pelvic floor exercises by tightening the muscles for a few seconds, then relaxing. Do this several times a day to build strength and endurance.
Maintain Proper Posture
Good posture helps align the pelvis and reduce pressure on the pelvic floor muscles, promoting their health.
Avoid Straining
Prevent pelvic floor strain by staying hydrated, eating a high-fiber diet, and avoiding heavy lifting. Straining, especially during bowel movements, can weaken these muscles over time.
Deep Breathing
Incorporate diaphragmatic breathing into your routine. This relaxes the pelvic floor muscles and reduces tension, which is important for muscle balance and recovery.
Stay Active
Regular, moderate exercise such as walking or light strength training helps maintain overall pelvic health by engaging core muscles, including the pelvic floor.
