@femalephysiosarah: Save this one 👇 🌸 Stopping the flow of urine mid-stream: Make sure you do this at the START of your flow, do it once, then completely empty your bladder. This should only be done every now and again to test your strength. IMPORTANT: You should not be doing this with every single wee as it can cause retention and incomplete emptying. 🌸 Use a hand-held mirror: This is a great tool for VISUAL feedback so you can see the external genitalia moving when doing the exercise. Note here that even with a strong pelvic floor contraction, you still may not see anything externally so take this one with a grain of salt. 🌸 Self digital examination: Using a clean finger, insert it 2-3cm inside and see if you can feel the muscles squeeze around your finger, then let go. NOTE: The first 2 points works for both men and women. As always, the gold standard assessment is to see a Women’s Health Physiotherapist for an accurate assessment of your pelvic floor.
