3 Steps to Successful Kegel Exercises with Laselle
By Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist Michelle Kenway
Maintaining strong, healthy pelvic floor muscles is an essential part of health and wellness for women at every stage of life. These muscles support your bladder, uterus and other essential organs, so strengthening them using Kegel exercises – voluntary contractions - helps you to maintain continence, recover from labor and enjoy intimacy, amongst a host of other potential benefits.
Laselle Kegel Exercisers bring you a complete pelvic floor training solution. Cleverly designed for progressive training, they come in 3 weighted increments for advancing pelvic floor strength and tone. What’s more, Laselle provides immediate feedback about the success of your exercise technique, so now you can be assured that you are exercising correctly and effectively for better pelvic floor strength and tone every time you workout.
3 steps to pelvic floor success
When starting out with Laselle, commence with the lightest 28g / 1oz exerciser.
Step 1
With Laselle inserted and resting approximately 2 to 3 cm inside your vagina, find the position you best feel your pelvic floor muscles working. When first starting out you may commence your exercises lying down and then progress to standing up when you are confident you have the correct exercise technique.
Correct technique for your pelvic floor exercises/Kegel exercises involves lifting and squeezing your pelvic floor muscles. Your pelvic floor muscles encircle your three pelvic openings, your vagina, urethra (opening to your urine tube) and anus. The correct exercise technique involves contracting your pelvic floor muscles as if stopping the flow of urine/ trying to avoid passing wind.
Step 2
Practice the correct technique and notice Laselle lift slightly within your vagina as your pelvic floor muscles contract. Try to maintain this pelvic floor muscle contraction as you breathe, maintaining it for up to 10 seconds.
