The building blocks that form the foundation of your great and successful future, are the actions you take today. - Topsy Gift
The term foundation may be defined as the infrastructure, substructure, understructure, and support. Literally the pelvic floor muscles are foundational for our voluntary elimination process. You may have heard of kegal exercises. They are mentioned in childbirth classes and suggested by Occupational Therapists for urinary stress incontinence or ordered by physicians to male patients who had prostate surgery or female patients after childbirth. Actually, everyone needs strong pelvic floor muscles, they are imperative in the prevention of urinary and bowel incontinence in aging (weakened musculature is common).

You know WHY and now HOW
To locate theses muscles - squeeze and stop the flow of urine (that’s half of them) and tighten your anal muscles (to stop the expulsion of gas at inopportune moments).
Easy.
Once you know where these muscles are - tighten both areas together and hold for 5-10 seconds - relax - and repeat at least 30 times. Taking action today will prevent embarrassing moments tomorrow!
