Building your body’s foundation through core strength
In both women and men, the pelvic floor muscles play an important role in helping with bladder control, stabilizing your core, and even improving sexual function. Keeping these muscles strong is crucial, especially after pregnancy, and our guides cover everything from recognizing the symptoms of incontinence to learning how to do Kegel exercises.
Around 1 in 3 women will experience pelvic floor issues in their lifetime. Following childbirth, most people will regain strength in their pelvic floor muscles within a couple of months, but for some, pelvic floor weakness can persist for months or even years.
