Try
setting aside a regular time to do your exercises
each day.
-
Experiment
to see which different position best suits you
from the basic chair sitting one, you may find
it easier.
- Every
now and again check in the mirror to see that you
are not moving your stomach, buttocks or thighs.
- The
younger you are when you start exercising the better.
- Listen
to music when you do the exercises, this makes it
more fun.
- Keep
a calendar and give yourself a gold star each time
you do the exercises.
- If
you stop doing the exercises make sure you start
again.
-
If
you are getting headaches, chest discomfort or abdominal
muscle discomfort, then you are contracting other
muscles in addition to, or instead of the pelvic muscles.
- To
prevent leaks of urine, pull up the pelvic floor
each time you: cough, sneeze, laugh, exercise, push
and lift.
- Get
some coaching from health care visitors.
- Urinate
every 3 to 4 hours to avoid the bladder from becoming
too full.
- On
long journeys try to avoid caffeine and alcohol
as these stimulate urine production and make you
want to go to the toilet more often.
- Swimming
can help improve pelvic muscle floor tone.
- Wear special pads to protect the skin from any
leaking urine.
