Nearly every patient I meet has heard about the Kegels. That’s great that the knowledge of this tool for improving the performance of the pelvic floor muscle is out there. But here is what I also know: 30% of women don’t know how to perform a Kegel properly. And, with certain conditions already present, a kegel can actually make your situation worse. The only way to know if you should be doing a kegel, and how to do it correctly, is to see a pelvic health physiotherapist.
