One of the most effective ways of helping incontinence is doing pelvic floor exercises.

This will help toward strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and therefore the bladder.

The first step in making your pelvic floor stronger, is recognising where the muscles are. To locate them, contract your muscles as though you are trying to stop yourself from going to the toilet, this is your pelvic floor.

Make sure you contract the muscles correctly, the movement should be an upward and inward contraction, and not bearing down.

For the exercises to be effective you should do one set of slow exercises and one set of fast contractions six times a day.
