Pelvic Floor Fitness
Strong and healthy pelvic floor muscles are essential to the optimal function of your bladder, bowel and pelvis in all activities of life. If you have a weakened pelvic floor, choosing the wrong type of exercise may further stress and worsen your muscle function.
Are you Pelvic Floor Fit?
Are you confident that you can perform a correct pelvic floor muscle contraction? Have you ever wondered how strong your pelvic floor muscles are? Have you had a baby in the last 12 months? Can you laugh, jump and run without leaking? Do you get pelvic pain or a feeling of heaviness after strenuous activity or exercise?
If you are unsure how to correctly contract your pelvic floor muscles or think that your pelvic floor may be at risk, make an appointment for a pelvic floor muscle check.
