While kegels can be a great way to improve muscle control and strength, they are not always indicated. There are actually a multitude of patients whose issues stem from a pelvic floor that is too overactive or tight, and in these situations kegels can either not work, or worsen the symptoms. This is typically why we recommend getting an assessment to learn more about what is causing your individual concerns, so we can help create a treatment plan tailored to you specifically.
