Advice from the physio was to strengthen the transverse abdominal muscle group to help support the pelvis to help with my knee pain. Long story really but I’m willing to give it a go.

Although we tried to work them during the appointment, my god they’re an odd one to do. Any transverse ab advice greatly received.

Lie on your back – put your hands on the sides of your belly, dig them in quite deep. Now try and pull your balls up towards your belly button and tighten your sphincter. Hold it for 10seconds and repeat 10 times.
Build upto 3 sets/3 times daily every day.

on the floor on all fours, breath out and suck your stomach in as hard as you can, towards your spine, so it hurts, hold for 10 secs – repeat x 8, twice a week

and also what he ^^^ said – which is a first 😉

Bloody Hell, no wonder I’m struggling!

dont really understand but good luck with the sphincter excercises 😯

Edited my above post to include sets and daily pattern.

Cheers guys. Am being useless here or is it a tricky one to “get”?

think of a cat spewing up a hairball… and replicate

Possibly the most difficult muscle in the body to “get”.

Cheers guys. At least I don’t feel stupid. Just frustrated. I appreciate your help though.
