[edit | edit source]

Pelvic floor exercises, also called Kegel (kay-gull) exercises after Dr. Arnold Kegel who developed them, strengthen the pelvic floor muscles. These muscles play a role in supporting the bladder and urethra. Weak pelvic floor muscles may contribute to incontinence. Exercises to strengthen theses muscles may help improve urine control.
