Squatting can induce symptoms of incontinence including leaking urine and passing wind unintentionally.
This technique can help reduce these symptoms and works on strengthening and timing the pelvic floor muscles to work effectively.
Tighten your pelvic floor muscles before you beging the squat by contracting the muscles that stop you from passing wind and urine. Bend at the hip and knee and lower your body down to the floor in your squat. As you stand up relax you pelvic floor muscles.
To progress add weight to the squat or squat down quicker. Tighten the pelvic floor in the same way before beginning each squat variation.
