Leaking when you cough, sneeze, or laugh? At Animated Physio we’re here to guide you on a journey towards pelvic floor empowerment. So, we wanted to introduce you to the revolutionary technique – “The Knack”. Keep reading to delve into the intricacies of “The Knack”, which is backed by compelling evidence, and, furthermore, we’ll be offering ways for you to take charge of your pelvic floor health.
Understanding “The Knack” for optimum pelvic floor health
“The Knack” is not just a technique; it’s evidently a proactive approach to pelvic floor health. It involves performing an active pelvic floor squeeze, also known as a Kegel exercise, just before moments of increased pressure on the pelvic floor. This can include actions like coughing, sneezing, or laughing. The timely engagement of pelvic floor muscles provides essential support, effectively minimising symptoms associated with pelvic floor dysfunction.
Evidence-Backed Benefits
The effectiveness of “The Knack” is not anecdotal. In fact, it’s grounded in scientific research. Numerous studies have illuminated its positive impact on pelvic floor health. Studies have reported results as dramatic as finding that individuals who incorporated “The Knack” into their daily routine experienced up to a 75% reduction in symptoms related to stress urinary incontinence. Additionally, this was found after just one week of practice. Therefore, this evidence shows the significance of a proactive approach in managing and preventing pelvic floor challenges.
