The essentials

Small movements. Full attention.

01

Gently lift

Draw the pelvic floor inward and upward. Keep your abdomen, thighs and buttocks relaxed.

02

Keep breathing

Hold the muscle, not your breath. A steady, comfortable effort is enough.

03

Relax fully

Let the muscles soften between holds. Stop if you feel pain or cannot fully relax.

Notice your breathing

Sit or lie comfortably.

F03Optional · self-paced

Gentle pelvic floor lift

Imagine a small lift.

Gently raise your pelvic floor, then lift a little further. Keep breathing. Return to the starting point and relax fully. This is about control, not maximum effort.

F04Optional · self-paced

Breathe out as you stand

Sit on a stable chair with both feet supported.

Start breathing out, gently engage your pelvic floor and stand without straining. Relax again once you are standing, then sit down slowly.

F05Optional · self-paced

The Knack

Use this only for a familiar cough or sneeze.

When you feel a cough or sneeze coming, engage your pelvic floor just beforehand. Relax fully afterwards. Start by rehearsing the timing mentally; there is no need to make yourself cough.

F06Optional · self-paced

Small bridge

Lie on your back with your feet on the floor.

Breathe out, engage your pelvic floor and lift your pelvis only as far as feels comfortable. Keep breathing. Lower slowly and release the tension.

F07Optional · self-paced

Gentle movement on all fours

Start on your hands and knees.

Gently round your back as you breathe out, then return to a comfortable neutral position as you breathe in. Move slowly; you do not need to deliberately squeeze your pelvic floor.

Understand your pelvic floor

What your pelvic floor does

Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissue. It supports the organs in your pelvis and helps with bladder and bowel control. The often-mentioned PC muscle is one part of it.

Practice involves both contracting these muscles and fully relaxing them afterwards. LiftLetGo guides the timing, but it cannot check whether you are doing the movement correctly.
