Why your pelvic floor exercises might not be working

Think you’re doing everything right but still not seeing results? You’re not alone. In this episode, I break down the reasons your pelvic floor may not be improving - and what you can do instead.

How incorrect technique can limit your results
The role of prolapse and what symptoms to look out for

When a pessary might be recommended for prolapse support
Understanding an overactive pelvic floor and why “more kegels” aren’t always the answer
How constipation and bowel health affect your pelvic floor
The impact of hormones and how vaginal oestrogen cream can help
