Your Pelvic Floor

This book outlines symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction, and shows you how to fix them. What is pelvic organ prolapse – which 50% of women will experience – and can it be prevented? Urinary incontinence is treatable with physio. Women on average suffer symptoms for 7 years before going to a healthcare professional which has a huge effect on mental health. Pelvic floor issues are often only talked about in relation to pregnancy and childbirth. This is not just a "mum issue": high impact exercise (running, HIIT, CrossFit) affect the pelvic floor. Young athletes/gymnasts who have never had children are highly likely to suffer from incontinence. Women should not accept dysfunction as a "normal part of being a woman", but instead need to prioritize their pelvic floor health – this book shows that it is never too early and, crucially, never too late to do so.
