Ask Physio Kath - "Help! My pelvic floor exercises aren't working"
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.
What you’ll hear in this episode:
- Why pelvic floor improvements can be slow or subtle postpartum
- How incorrect technique can limit your results
- The role of prolapse and what symptoms to look out for
- Why an assessment with a pelvic floor physio is so important
- 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
- Why whole-body strength is just as important as pelvic floor strength
If you’ve been feeling frustrated or discouraged, this episode will give you clarity, reassurance, and practical steps to move forward with confidence.
