Perineal Education
Awareness of the perineum, learning contractions and relaxation, coordination with breathing to restore good muscle control.
Abdomino-perineal Strengthening Exercises
Work on the abdominal belt and pelvic floor (De Gasquet method, etc.).
Biofeedback (Biostim Mazet)
A tool for visualizing contractions to improve muscle control.
Postural and Breathing Advice
Integration of perineal work into daily activities (lifting, posture, breathing, etc.) to protect the perineum in the long term.
