Glad to hear it!

Believe these are all issues for me. Do you have specific exercises I could also do?

[@JAGPTPelvicHealth]

It is possible that pelvic floor and core abdominal strengthening could be helpful. Our office performs wellness visits virtually if you are outside of NJ/NY. We can discuss more specifically what strengthening means and what types of exercises fall into that category. Please email [e-mail] or call 609 584 4770 for more information!

Also a male. How about a demo using a male torso!

Good idea! Males can also splint at the perineum.
