Reverse kegels: How to Relax Your Pelvic Floor

Pelvic floor muscle strengthening exercises are most commonly referred to as Kegels.

The purpose of "Regular" Kegel exercises is to strengthen pelvic floor muscle that are weak. This would likely help people that have pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, fecal incontinence and/or the inability to hold back gas.

But what if your pelvic floor muscles are too tight or in spasm?

Doing kegels if your pelvic floor muscles are in spasm can actually make your symptoms worse. It can lead to more pain and bowel/ bladder dysfunction, and increase pain for people experiencing discomfort during intercourse.

Reverse kegels or pelvic drops are the opposite of regular kegels.

These should be performed for people who have tight pelvic floor muscles and can help resolving pelvic pain, pain during intercourse, urinary leaking, constipation and/or incomplete evacuation.

The purpose of these exercises is to relax, lengthen , and let go of pelvic floor muscles.

Using visual imagery can be very helpful when performing a reverse kegel. It can be challenging to connect with a group of muscles we cant see. However, If our brain has a picture or a feeling to connect with it can help to perform the correct movement more easily and more effectively. For example, Imagine the feeling you have as you are releasing a bowel movement or starting the flow of urine. This is the feeling of the pelvic floor relaxing and "letting Go."

Watch this video to learn how to perform a reverse kegel.
