Wonderful video! …
Wonderful video! For 15 years I’ve had on/off problems with very weak pelvic muscles resulting in swelling and pain when walking/sitting. This occurs when I stress my lower body with pushing or pulling heavy items or with some types of exercise. Your video reveals how important it is to keep doing the pelvic floor exercises because they really do help!

Thank you for …
Thank you for sharing your knowledge. I have had two surgery and still experience stress incontinence. This information has been very helpful for me to visualise and put a program in place for myself. I particular took note about the triggers and time frames when to do the muscle contraction. That was particular helpful, not to mention the whole video. Many thanks.

… Wow. I finally …
… Wow. I finally know which muscles I’m supposed to be focusing on. Thank you so much for the imagery that you used and for putting this online. I’ve always read that you have to contract the muscle that stops urine flow, but I’ve never been able to really decide exactly which muscle it was. I’ve always been confused and wondered if I was doing it right. With this, I’ll know that I’m doing it correctly, and won’t stress out that I might be making my problems worse cause I was exercising wrong.

Yes, your …
Yes, your description of a pelvic muscle contraction is very good and accurate. Once you have achieved better strength and tone of this group of muscles, you should likely notice improvement in urinary control–whether it is stress incontinence, urgency incontinence, or post-void dribble.

I guess the …
I guess the exercise to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles is exactly like when we hold or try to stop our urine flow and maintain that upward contraction for 5 second intervals and then relax. Will strengthening the pelvic floor muscles help with slight urine “dribble?” I assume so?
