Physio recommended exercise - imagine a £50
Posted , 7 users are following.
stuck between your bum cheeks (how it got there, I'll leave up to you).
Now imagine someone is trying to remove the £50 and you really, really don't want them to. So, what do you do?
Tense those buttock muscles, hold for 5 seconds then release. Repeat 10 times.
Once you can hold for 5 seconds, increase to 10, 15, 20 (you get the idea).
Excellent strengthening exercise!

Ye olde butt clench is good for lots of things, including not peeing yourself in public.

Imagine you are trying to dooo up a button on hipster jeans and they are just simply tooo tight, what do you do but tuck in below your belly button.
I could only do the exercise when I thought about it doing up the button, once I practised some more it came more and more easily, you also feel you pelvic floor respond as all the muscles are linked up.
Helped hugely with sciatica pain post THR.

£50 sound so much more comfortable than the pea I was told to imagine. Happy clenching
