If you’ve been doing Kegels because everyone says you should, but you’re still dealing with leaking, pressure, or heaviness, you’re not alone. Most women don’t realize that constantly tightening and strengthening the pelvic floor muscles can actually make symptoms worse—especially if tension and gripping are already present in the inner thighs, glutes, or abs. Kegels need to work with your breath, posture, and core, not in isolation.

It’s important to know if Kegel exercises are truly right for your body. If your leaks aren’t improving, if you feel more tension than relief, or you’re still getting pressure or heaviness after weeks of practice, it may be time to change your approach. Coordinating Kegels with proper breathing and allowing relaxation between contractions is key, and you should avoid overdoing them or holding tension all day.
