The Knack Technique for Bladder Leak Prevention | Kegel8

If you experience bladder leaks when laughing, coughing, sneezing, or exercising, The Knack technique can help support your pelvic floor and reduce stress incontinence symptoms naturally.

The Knack involves gently squeezing your pelvic floor muscles just before pressure is placed on the bladder. This quick pelvic floor contraction helps support the bladder and pelvic organs, helping to prevent those unexpected leaks and improve bladder control confidence.

In the first instalment of Pelvic Floor Exercise Techniques, expert Physiotherapist Amanda Savage joins Kegel8 Founder and Managing Director Stephanie Taylor to explain how The Knack technique works and why it is such an effective exercise for managing urinary incontinence and supporting pelvic floor strength.

At Kegel8, we work alongside leading UK physiotherapists to provide trusted pelvic floor advice, expert exercise techniques, and effective at-home support — helping you strengthen and support your pelvic floor every step of the way.
