You've been told til the cows came home about pelvic floor exercises - have you done them?
If you feel like you have been trying to do pelvic floor exercises for what seems like years but just don't seem to remember or get anywhere than this is the place.
Why is this important?
Pelvic Organ Prolapse
Nearly 50% of women will experience a prolapse at some point in their life - this is not just women who have had babies!
Prolapse can cause problems with the function of the vaginal, bladder, bowel, back, as well as sexual dysfunction.
Incontinence
2/3 of pregnant women will leak urine.
1/3 of post-partum women will leak urine.
20% of all women after having a baby may have some bowel leakage.
Getting Older by the day
Menopause happens to us all and can show pelvic floor problems that have laid dormant for years.
The simple effect of muscle loss and strength which happens to us all regardless of symptoms is preventable.
What does a weak pelvic floor mean to You?
These are some of the really common and distressing comments I hear EVERY DAY from postnatal women. If you can relate to ANY of these women then PLEASE seek help. START HERE, also see your Doctor for an initial check up.

How do pelvic floor muscle exercises help?
- Pelvic floor muscle training will significantly reduce urinary incontinence.
- Pelvic floor muscle training, done correctly and for long enough, will reduce a prolapse to a degree.
- Pelvic floor muscle training will improve muscle bulk, muscle strength and stiffness this will:

50% of women may be doing these exercises incorrectly unless they are taught well (ideally all women should be examined to check this is correct)
