Kegels can be a helpful tool when someone is weak, has low endurance, or struggles to recruit muscles in the pelvic floor, but it's a tiny stepping stone in rehab
After a knee surgery you don't just get instructed to do 100 quad sets (tense your quad) a day and move on
You get a comprehensive rehab plan that (should) take you back to fill function with running, jumping, cutting, etc
Pelvic floor therapy can be the same way. Just because you became a mom doesn't mean you aren't an athlete anymore. Stop accepting care that sees you as anything less.
You don't need more kegels, you need a comprehensive rehab program built for your goals
