Ex-Strictly star Kristina Rihanoff develops bladder weakness dance routine
Ex-Strictly star Kristina Rihanoff has developed a dance routine incorporating Kegels and gentle exercises – following her own recovery from childbirth. After leaving the BBC show in 2015, the dancer welcomed baby girl Mila with partner Ben Cohen in 2016 but experienced a number of health issues afterwards. When returning to dancing, Kristina noticed a significant change in her core and pelvic floor muscles, which forced her to take eight months away to focus on yoga, breath work and Pilates. Kristina, who has partnered with TENA as part of the launch of new TENA Silhouette underwear, to encourage women who experience bladder weakness to seek help – and which is also available to view at home [www.tena.co.uk/women/living-with-bladder-weakness/stories/pelvic-floor-routine-kristina-rihanoff], said: “As a professional dancer, I wasn’t prepared for what happened to me post-birth – no one talks about the fact you can experience pelvic floor weakness to the point of losing a little bit of control. “And as a very fit woman, where exercise and movement is my profession, I assumed I’d just bounce back – so it was a mental and physical challenge to overcome.”
