HeldwellThe knack: brace before you cough
2 min read
The knack is a quick lift of the pelvic floor just before something that usually causes a leak: a cough, a sneeze, a laugh, standing up or lifting.
Practise it in daily life: lift gently, then cough. At first it takes thought; after a few weeks it becomes a reflex.
Use it with your daily sessions. The sessions build strength, the knack puts that strength to work at the moment it counts.
Heldwell is a self-help tool, not medical care. If you have pain, bleeding, a bulge or heaviness, or trouble emptying your bladder, see a doctor or a pelvic health physiotherapist.
