Tuesday Tips Gotta go right now? When you get that URGE (aka Urge Incontinence) here are 5 tips to help retrain your bladder and pelvic floor muscles to go when YOU want to go. BE THE BOSS OF YOUR BLADDER ... 1. Stop activity (removes or lessens the bladder urgency trigger) 2. Deep breathing (helps to quiet the urge) 3. Squeeze your pelvic floor muscles (sends the message to the actual bladder to hold on longer) 4. Perineal pressure (use your hand or sit on something like a rolled-up towel or tennis ball) 5. Avoid your bladder irritants (things like coffee, tea, dairy, alcohol, spicy foods and more can trigger the bladder in many people) . . . #pelvicfloor #pilates #mindfulmovement #functionalmovement #pelvichealth #incontinence #womenshealth #aginggracefully #movementbreak #aging #health
