from strengthening my

doing the exercise
correctly?
Prevention or signifi cant improvement of urinary
incontinence
Strengthening and toning of the pelvic fl oor muscles
before or after childbirth
Prevention of pelvic organ relaxation
Increased sexual pleasure, vaginal tone, moisture and
response
One way to know that you are performing the exercise
correctly is through the use of the sensor handle.
Hold the sensor handle when you start your exercise.
Pay attention to how the sensor moves while you are
squeezing.
When you are performing the exercise properly you should
feel as if you are drawing the sensor inward slightly.
If you feel the sensor moving outward you are most likely
using your stomach muscles instead of your pelvic muscles.
If the sensor is remaining still or is pulling inward slightly
then you are using the correct muscles.
What are the most
common causes of
pelvic fl oor weakness?
Pregnancy and vaginal childbirth
High impact exercises such as running
