Where do male kegel exercises come from?
Kegels were introduced by a gynecologist named Dr Arnold Kegel when he began researching the effectiveness of strengthening the pelvic floor muscles. The ‘floor’ of your pelvis is made up of muscles that support the bowel, bladder, urethra, and uterus. These muscles are like a hammock, or the bottom and sides of a bowl, in shape. They run from the pubic bone in the front to the end of the spinal column (or tail bone) in the back. They provide support to the pelvic organs. Pelvic floor muscle exercise was originally prescribed to women to make giving birth easier.
