Pelvic Floor Exercises During Pregnancy

During birth we want to relax, release and open the pelvic floor – this will help to make more space for baby to maneuverer. This is why throughout pregnancy we teach women to relax their pelvic floor on the on the exhale.

You can do you pelvic floor exercises lying on your side, sitting down or standing!! In the video below I’m showing you how to do it on all fours.

Ideally when you are doing your pelvic floor exercises you want to do a mixture of fast contractions and slow engagement so that you are working the fast and slow twitch fibres that make up your pelvic floor –  this will help to build strength as well as flexibility, which is what you need for it to function and support you.
