Doing the kegels -- the right techique?

Hi B'Dereh Well done for even thinking about doing them. No you don't want to involve the butt cheeks.. literally just feeling like you're pulling up your pelvic floor internally with no involvement from your abdominals or glutes. Try lying on the floor with your knees bent and back flat. Keep your hands on your stomach so you can check you're not tightening your tummy. Squeeze everything up and hold for a count of 5 then release.. repeat that 5-10 times and repeat it 2-3 times per day. Focus on pulling up your vagina and sphincter - almost as if you're trying to stop from going to the loo.

You can progress to holding for a count of 10 and them mixing it up with some faster repeats. Have you got a physio there you can speak to and check you're doing them right??

Hope that helps anyway.. at least that's the way I've done them. I know people do them differently but it won't do any harm and my pelvic floor is definitely improved.

Is there a need to do those, doesn't your body re-adjust with time.
