Many women find they leak urine especially after having a baby, and part of the reason could be weak pelvic floor muscles.

Named after Joseph Pilates, pilates is a gentle exercise technique that targets the deep postural muscles of the body. Two of these muscle groups are the lower abdominal muscles and the pelvic floor muscles. Some of the basic principles of pilates exercises include relaxation, breathing control, postural control, co-ordination and stamina.
