I have both and I've found kegel exercises, relaxing my pelvic floor by putting a hot pad on your lower stomach while lying down for 30 min every day. Also doing any exercises to build up your core strength. Breathing exercises, and biofeedback in your therapy should help you adjust your muscles to making the correct movements. Have you tried biofeedback?

Hi.. thank you for your response.,I haven’t tried the heat. I have had 15?sessions of pelvic floor therapy with biofeedback and I do the exercises at home. It has helped a lot with incontinence but I am still having trouble fully emptying my bowels so I get very backed up and then lots of diarrhea. I am going to try the warm compress. Thank you
