As we age, pelvic floor muscles naturally weaken, making Kegel exercises increasingly important for maintaining continence and quality of life. These exercises are safe and effective for seniors, helping to prevent age-related incontinence and maintain independence. They can be done anywhere, anytime, making them perfect for older adults.
Maintaining Independence as You Age
Regular Kegel practice helps seniors maintain bladder and bowel control, reducing the risk of accidents and the need for adult diapers. Strong pelvic floor muscles also support better posture and balance, reducing fall risk. These simple exercises can significantly improve quality of life and maintain dignity in the golden years.
