Optimizing Core Strength for Pelvic Floor Function
A strong core is essential for maintaining good pelvic floor function. Our expert trainers will help you create a personalized workout plan to reduce incontinence and improve overall health.
The transverse abdominis muscle, which runs from the ribcage to the pubic bone, plays a crucial role in supporting the pelvic floor. Exercises that target this muscle can help improve core stability and reduce incontinence.
Some effective exercises for strengthening the core include:
- Plank: Hold a plank position for 30-60 seconds, rest for 30 seconds, and repeat for 3-5 sets.
- Bird dog: Start on your hands and knees, lift your right arm and left leg off the ground, hold for a few seconds, and then lower back down. Repeat on the other side.
- Superman: Lie on your stomach with your arms extended in front of you, lift your arms and legs off the ground, and hold for a few seconds.
Our trainers will also work with you to identify any underlying issues that may be contributing to pelvic floor dysfunction. We’ll develop a personalized workout plan that addresses these issues and helps you achieve optimal core strength and pelvic floor function.
