@jc76 I am still in the initial phase, but it boils down to strengthening my core and doing kegels in that physical position that I leak the most in. The focus is on inhaling by lowering my diaphragm and exhaling by bringing it back in. Then I breathe properly while doing kegels while standing. This is because I only leak when I'm standing, never sitting or lying down. Then I breathe properly while doing bridge and side bridge exercises (you can Google them) with a kickball squeezed between my legs. They tell me I will be learning more exercises but would like me to have sessions with them two to three times a week for 12 weeks. My original Pelvic floor specialist only gave me one kegel exercise to do while sitting down. That didn't do the job.
