The 'Pelvic Floor' is probably the most misunderstood muscle group within the human body and definately most likely to be forgotten or incorrectly  activated, during exercise regimes focussing on toning the whole body!

In general women have heard of their pelvic floor but when questioned they admit that they don't really know exactly where it is and what it is responsible for.  However, all women are familiar with the symptoms of a dysfunctional pelvic floor; sadly these symptoms can be prevented and treated but all too often women suffer in silence.

Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs for a number of reasons:
childbirth, obesity, decreased activity, constipation, repetitive heavy lifting, caffeine, chronic cough, menopause.

Specialist Physiotherapy aims to teach women to isolate their pelvic floor muscles and retrain them effectively.  Following a short course of treatment most women can regain a normal quality of life without fear of incontinence.
