“Will I need to do my pelvic floor exercises forever?”
It’s a question that comes up in my classes and courses, and I get it. You’ve already got plenty to think about without adding another thing to your daily list!
Something I talk about a lot is that pelvic floor training is about more than just Kegels.
We want your pelvic floor to work with you through everyday life. Picking up your baby, carrying the shopping, getting up off the floor and doing the exercise you love.
That means being able to contract, relax and respond to what you’re doing. Letting go matters too 🤍
Those focused exercises can be a really helpful part of rebuilding strength, awareness and coordination after pregnancy and birth. As you progress, we also want to bring that connection into movement, so you feel more confident without having to think about every squeeze. Everyone’s journey will be unique here too.
So, can you stop?
Your routine may change over time, but feeling stronger or exercising regularly doesn’t automatically mean you no longer need any targeted pelvic floor work. A Pelvic Health Physio can help you work out what’s right for you, including what maintenance might look like.
This is why we explore breathing, relaxation and how your pelvic floor works during movement in my classes and courses.
