Bowel Retraining
Alternate Names : Exercises for Fecal Incontinence
Kegel exercises
Strengthening the tone of the rectal muscles may help achieve some degree of bowel control in those people who have fecal incontinence caused by an incompetent rectal sphincter. Exercises to strengthen pelvic and rectal muscle tone are called Kegel exercises. These exercises were originally developed as a method of controlling incontinence in women following childbirth. The success of Kegel exercises depends on proper technique and adherence to a regular exercise program.
