Resistance Training

Why Resistance Training Matters

Your pelvic floor muscles play a vital role in supporting your bladder, bowels, and pelvic organs. When these muscles are weak or uncoordinated, it can lead to symptoms like:

​

• Urinary leakage or urgency

• Pelvic pressure or discomfort

• Difficulty controlling bowel movements

• Feeling of pelvic heaviness or prolapse

​

Resistance training helps these muscles get stronger and work better — much like strength training for other muscles in your body.

​

How It Works

Resistance training involves gently challenging your pelvic floor muscles by making them contract against resistance. This can be done through:

​

✅ Using small vaginal or anal weights
✅ Guided muscle contractions with biofeedback devices
✅ Targeted exercises prescribed by your therapist

​

What Resistance Training Helps You Achieve

• Increased pelvic floor muscle strength and endurance

• Improved muscle coordination and control

• Better support for your pelvic organs

• Reduction in symptoms like leakage, pressure, and pain
