Pelvic Health

Pelvic exercises can prevent or control urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor problems. Kegel exercises are designed to strengthen the pelvic floor, which will, in turn, provide support for the uterus, small intestine, bladder, and rectum. The pelvic floor is a layer of muscles and tissues that extend from the pubic bone to the coccyx (tailbone). Interestingly, Kegels do tighten the vagina but not by tightening the vaginal muscles, as most people think.
