I think as women age we become less elastic (to put it kindly) and the pelvic floor does impact our ability to hold our urine, so yes I think Kegel exercises are helpful. I think faster delivery has to do with so many other things, such as body awareness, fitness levels, a great doctor etc.

Back pain has many causes.

What is the origin and insertion of the pelvic floor muscles? Do those muscles have an influence on the biomechanics of the vertebral column?

Will pelvic floor exercises help improve incontinence? Absolutely!

This is a very good question although very difficult to answer. The pelvic floor muscles are believed to play a vital role in back health. However, it is not certain due to the difficulties in studying these muscles. Nonetheless, their role is should be considering important due to their anatomical location and implications with ventilation.

Hello Ashley,

It helps with incontinence. They are muscles like anywhere else; the stronger we are, the better we perform.
Take care.
