Effectiveness of Foam RE and KE for Urinary Incontinence in Postpartum Women With Diastasis Recti

Kegel exercises, also known as pelvic floor exercises, involve contracting and relaxing the muscles of the pelvic floor to strengthen them. These exercises can help improve urinary and fecal continence, potentially enhance sexual function, and are recommended for both men and women.

Foam rolling can be a helpful tool to prepare for or complement Kegel exercises by releasing tension in surrounding muscles and improving overall pelvic floor function. Foam rolling can help address tight muscles in the hips and lower back that can contribute to pelvic floor dysfunction. By releasing these tight areas, foam rolling can allow for better engagement and control of the pelvic floor muscles during Kegel exercises.
