I followed Michelle Kenway's video below for a few weeks, working up to 2-3 times per day, before I started working with a pelvic floor PT specialist for about 6 weeks leading up to my surgery. During my first visit, the PT told me that I was already doing Kegels correctly. I attribute that to the video - the routine is simple, and Michelle explains the how and why in a very understandable way. I continued to incorporate Michelle's routine with my PT's recommended exercises right up until the day before surgery. Although I can't say exactly how much Kegels contributed to my immediate post-catheter and continued continence, I'm extremely happy with the result.
