"Unlocking the Power of Pelvic Floor Exercises for Incontinence and Belly Fat"

Pelvic floor massage therapy has been found to be an effective treatment for stress incontinence, a condition that affects many women and causes involuntary leakage of urine. While Kegel exercises are often recommended to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, physical therapists specializing in pelvic floor rehabilitation have discovered that Kegels can worsen the condition if the cause is muscle tightness. Pelvic floor massage therapy, performed by trained healthcare professionals, helps release tight muscles and trigger points, improving the function and strength of the pelvic floor muscles. One woman's experience with pelvic floor massage therapy resulted in the complete disappearance of her incontinence within six sessions. It is important to consult with a board-certified physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor therapy to determine if this treatment is right for you.
