Those pelvic floor exercises are so important. Be sure to not only squeeze the muscles as if to stop the flow of urine or the passing of gas, but it is a must that you elevate your pelvic floor muscles up into your pelvic outlet as if there is a string attached from your belly button down to your pelvic floor and you are attempting to pull it up into your pelvic outlet. This effort in combination with neutral spine posture and learning exercises to help strengthen the other muscles of your abdomen and pelvis that assist your pelvic floor muscles to a stronger contraction and you are on your road to recovery! Guidance from your local women's health physical therapist and/or looking for physical therapist guided programs on line from those of us that have been there, is a great first step - Tasha Mulligan MPT, ATC, CSCS
