Re: sit-ups?

[Guest guest]

i was told I can do sits-ups, but I must do pelvic floor exercises afters---one

method was to

squat and allow my pelvic floor muscle to relax and " drop " ---i also do it when i

am in pain

sometimes---i believe it is an exercise my PT also gave to pregnant wimmins.

As for non sit-up ab exercises---i have asked my gym trainers that and they have

all be

stumped.

> Hi all. Wondering what you think of sit-ups for people with Pelvic Floor

Dysfunction? I

have IC and vulvodynia, which are manageable, thank G-d, with medication. I was

in PT for a

long time and still go for a tune up. Last time my PT said my muscles were in

good shape.

I'd like to strengthen my abs to help with low back pain that comes and goes; my

back

strains easily. Is there a way to work the abs and not tighten the pelvic

floor?
