Kegel exercises

exercises designed to build strength and gain control of the pelvic-floor muscles. These exercises are used in the treatment of vaginismus in women and play a role in increasing sexual pleasure in both women and men. The exercises are also used in the treatment of incontinence. [developed in 1948 by A. H. Kegel (1894–1981), U.S. gynecologist]
