The Squat Technique for Pelvic Floor Relaxation & Mobility

Pelvic floor exercises are not always about squeezing and strengthening — learning how to relax the pelvic floor is just as important for healthy muscle function. Many women unknowingly hold tension in their pelvic floor muscles, especially after long periods of sitting, stress, exercise, or pelvic floor dysfunction.

In this sixth instalment of Pelvic Floor Exercise Techniques, expert Physiotherapist Amanda Savage joins Kegel8 Founder and Managing Director Stephanie Taylor to demonstrate how the squat technique can help release tension, relax the pelvic floor muscles, and improve flexibility and mobility.

The squat is a gentle, functional movement that encourages the pelvic floor muscles to lengthen and relax naturally. It can help women experiencing pelvic tension, pelvic pain, constipation, bladder urgency, or discomfort caused by an overactive pelvic floor.

At Kegel8, we understand that true pelvic health is about balance, movement, relaxation, and support. That’s why we work with leading UK physiotherapists to provide trusted pelvic floor advice, expert exercise techniques, and supportive at-home solutions — helping women strengthen, support, and care for their pelvic floor every step of the way.
