E14: The Truth About Kegels - a podcast by Dr. Melissa Cioffi, PT

I know you've seen those posts on Facebook, all like "Did you do your billion kegels today?" Your MD prescribed kegels because you can't stop peeing your pants when you cough, sneeze, and exercise. But do you really need to be doing kegels? 

Are you even doing them right? 

What are you supposed to be feeling down there, anyway? 

And what does your kegel program actually look like (and yes, there SHOULD be a kegel program)?

If you've never thought about any of this and thought that sneaking in quick "pelvic floor" contractions at a stop light meant you were on the right track, you may be missing something.

In this episode, we are talking all about what kegels are, how to properly do one, what goes into a kegel program, and when they might not be the best exercise for your pelvic floor conditioning.
