About Treatment

Hormonal fluctuations associated with pregnancy, menstruation and menopause can affect the function of the pelvic muscles that support the bladder, uterus and rectum.

We all know that keeping our bodies fit and our muscles strong ensures better health and efficient bodily functions. Regrettably we are rarely taught the importance of keeping the pelvic muscles strong to prevent the symptoms many women accept as unavoidable. Even if you will be having a hysterectomy or bladder support surgery the outcome of the procedure will be enhanced if the muscles of the area are healthy and strong.

DO NOT buy into the advertising industry's promise that pills and pads will restore your freedom. Instead, strengthen the core and pelvic muscles.
