Kegel exercises are commonly recommended to strengthen the pelvic floor. They may support bladder control, body awareness and intimate wellbeing for both women and men.

What are Kegel exercises?

They are simple contractions of the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles support important functions in the body and can be trained gradually.

Why can they be useful?

A stronger pelvic floor may improve control, sensitivity and confidence in everyday life.

How to practise them

The best approach is to start gently, avoid forcing the body and be consistent over time.

When to ask a professional

If there is pain, discomfort or a medical condition, it is always better to ask a health professional before starting.
