The Mechanics of Pelvic Floor Training

Coordinated muscle activity in the pelvic floor is essential for holding in bladder contents during activities like coughing, sneezing, lifting, and running. These muscles work similarly in both men and women and require integration with the back, abdominal, hip, and thigh muscles for lasting strength.

How It Works

Effective training requires a dynamic balance of muscle engagement and conscious relaxation. As the pelvic floor muscles strengthen, they begin to respond automatically, activating deeper layers with minimal effort. When incorporated into daily life, these muscles adapt to provide support without conscious effort, leading to lasting health and resilience.
