Relax your pelvic floor. Now inflate the bal-
loon to the point that you are aware of its
presence (for most women the pressure
gauge will show 2) . Should the pressure be
too strong, you can reduce it at any time by
opening the air release valve.
Perineal Draw Up Exercise
While tensing the pelvic floor muscles try to
draw the balloon upward for about 10 sec-
onds. Then relax for 10 seconds and repeat
this exercise again.
Gently touch the balloon and feel it moving
upwards with the muscle tension. This way
you can check that you are exercising cor-
rectly.

sure on your heels. Alternately raise your
right and left hip and repeat this 2-3 times.
"Around the Clock"
Assume the same starting position as for

your pelvis. Follow the movement of the
hands, first clockwise and then counter

smooth that the pelvis seems to continu-
ously rotate.
