How Exercise Can Improve Your Pelvic Health and Quality of Life

Writer's picture: Dyan McKeownDyan McKeown

When most people think about exercise, they picture gym workouts or running. But what about exercising the muscles you can’t see—like your pelvic floor?


Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles are vital for bladder control, core stability, and even sexual health. When they’re weak or too tight, problems like leakage, pelvic pain, and discomfort can arise. The good news? Targeted exercises can help.


The Benefits of Exercise for Pelvic Health


  • Strengthening Weak Muscles: Exercises like Kegels, squats, and glute bridges can help build strength in your pelvic floor, reducing issues like leakage.

  • Relaxing Overactive Muscles: If your pelvic floor is too tight, gentle stretching and breathing exercises can ease tension and reduce pain.

  • Improving Posture: Your pelvic floor works with your core, back, and hips to keep you upright. Strengthening these areas can reduce strain on your pelvis.

  • Enhancing Circulation: Movement promotes blood flow, supporting healing and muscle function.


Who Can Benefit?


  • Postpartum moms looking to rebuild strength.

  • Anyone experiencing leakage, prolapse, or pelvic pain.

  • Individuals recovering from pelvic surgeries or injuries.

  • Those managing menopause-related changes.
