Downloadable Pelvic Floor Exercise Sheets

Keeping your pelvic floor healthy and strong is a daily effort. Just as with normal strength training and exercise, it’s important to regularly work your pelvic floor so it can fully contract, relax and function properly. Regular pelvic floor workouts also help to prevent other problems, such as urinary incontinence.

Click the images below to download these workout sheets and work with your pelvic floor physical therapist to develop a routine that works best for you!

Note: Always check with your doctor or PT prior to beginning any new exercise routine.
