Ok an example would be turn a boku ball upside down and stand on the flat side . This is now an unstable surface to do squats on challenging balance and activating the pf.

Thanks Pegasus, I do not do these any more. I am way too unsteady. I tried standing on a medicine ball because my son challenged me. After they picked me up and made sure I was not actually dead the family had quite a laugh.

When your doing deep squats and deep squat holds is it ok to hold onto something for balance or best to try and do it with no aid?

You can start by holding on to something but no aid is better.

In my experience , no matter what type of squat you are doing,I find weather you put more emphasis on squatting with a knee break, or hip break for me made a difference on effect on the pelvic floor.
a knee break squat is simply starting th squat bending down at the and almost going straight down. I know this variation is probably what most people think of as squatting who might not be into weight lifting. I can do this all day and feel little to no pelvic floor stretch.
Hip break is starting the squat bending at the hips. Think about trying to stick out your ass to close a car door and try to keep sticking your ass out as you squat down. This for me personally was much more beneficial on stretching pelvic floor and posterior chain stretching strengthening since my hips do most the work in this variation rather then the quads in the other and I found it puts me in a deeper position. When I'm sitting and holding in a deep squat position I also try to push my ass back to make my knees as straight and parallel as possible not to point over my toes. I also prefer doing it in wider stances.
This just my experience. Everybody's levers , and posture is different. maybe this might be beneficial to some.
