Pelvic Floor Exercises For Better Balance

Updated: October 5, 2026

Pelvic Floor Exercises

Simple, guided movements from Justina Bailey to support stability, posture, and confidence on your feet.

Most people think of the pelvic floor only in terms of bladder control.

But these deep muscles do much more than that.

Your pelvic floor helps support your spine, hips, and core. So it plays an important role in balance, posture, and stability — especially as you age. When these muscles weaken, posture can change. Your centre of gravity can shift. And everyday movements like bending, reaching, or catching yourself from a stumble can start to feel less steady.

The good news?

The pelvic floor responds beautifully to simple, focused exercise.

To help you strengthen it safely, we asked Justina Bailey, one of Canada’s top fitness instructors, to guide you through a series of pelvic floor exercises designed to support better balance, smoother coordination, and more confidence in movement.

These exercises are gentle.
They’re effective.
And they can be done at home.

    I’m so sorry to hear about your bone loss, but glad you reached out, Connie! These pelvic floor exercises can help support the spine, hips, and core, which play an important role in balance, posture, and stability.

    For more targeted support for the femoral neck, you may find these exercises helpful HERE. You can also find forearm-focused exercises HERE.

    Along with regular exercise, it’s also important to replenish your bones with the right vitamins and minerals to build bone density. If you’re interested, you can learn more about our multi-nutrient, clinically supported approach to stronger bones HERE.

    I like this exercise video as I can work along with her, but wondered if she could talk it through doing the exercises then do the exercise sets without so much talking.

    Thank you for your question, Beth! 🙂

    You can find a Pilates ball (also called a mini exercise ball) online through retailers like Amazon or at many sporting goods and fitness stores.

    We hope that helps!

    I would like to see you provide more instructions on spine safe body mechanics to prevent vertebral compression fractures. For example, emphasizing hip hinge and keeping spine long in all positions. Also, doing a reverse sit up as you did here in going from sitting to supine (before demonstrating bridge pose) is contraindicated for those with bone loss. And we NEVER roll back on the vertebrae (20:09). Occupational therapist, yoga for bone loss teacher and BoneFit clinician here. If you like, I can share some research materials with you.
