	Kegel Exercise and Female Urinary Incontinence: How to do the kegel exercise
		The kegel exercise was named for Dr. Arnold Kegel, who developed this exercise for the pelvic floor muscles.
		Until the kegel exercise was developed, women had to either put up with urinary stress incontinence (the inability to prevent urination when you laugh, cough, sneeze or jump) or risk surgery, which was often not very effective against incontinence.
		There are several ways to perform the kegel exercise, but all concentrate on squeezing the pubococcygeus (pc) muscle (also referred to as pelvic floor muscles) repeatedly to increase strength to eliminate/avoid urinary incontinence as well as achieve other added benefits.
