Pelvic Floor Therapy

Gynos recommend this form of physical therapy to women who have incontinence issues, pain during sex, or loose muscles that may have been caused by childbirth. One of the most popular forms of pelvic floor therapy is kegel exercises, but there are other, stranger-sounding forms of therapy that include using weights inside your vagina and the InTone, a device that promises to help strengthen pelvic muscles.

Kegel exercises or working with a pelvic-floor physical therapist can be very helpful to build the strength of these muscles and to help with incontinence. We recommend women do 20 to 30 kegel exercises throughout the day.
