The Paula Method is a proposed alternative to Kegel exercises. [1] The idea is that by strengthening one's sphincter muscles (eye muscle: orbicularis oculi and mouth muscle: orbicularis oris), the contractions would also strengthen the sphincter muscles in the pelvic floor. [1] Evidence to support its use is lacking. [1]
