Learning more about your condition and how you can take care of yourself speeds recovery. Below is a collection of handouts with common suggestions and instructions. Each patient is unique and some things may not apply to your condition. In addition, there may be more treatments for your condition not listed here. Please ask if you have questions and STOP any suggested activity that increases your pain.
It is important to focus on the muscle during exercise. Having a counter helps you to stay focused on your body (instead of how many you have done). The apps below are available on most phone. Some are free and some cost a small amount of money. Bring your phone to therapy and Beth will help you load an app. You must know your password.
These audio files provide a prompt for pelvic floor exercise timing -- let Beth do the
counting for you. They can be played right from the computer, downloaded to an MP3 player (like an iPod),
or burned to a CD.
The following files are in ZIP format. Please click on the link and save it to your computer. This process
might take a few minutes, then you can click on the file and it will play on your Media Player.
* These files were created in collaboration with Eric
