FOR THE WOMEN

Ladies pelvic floor dysfunction is all too common but far too under-treated. Women don’t seek help because they feel it is “taboo”, they don’t know where to find resources or they have been told what they are experiencing is normal…FALSE! Pelvic or genital pain, urinary and bowel issues are NEVER NORMAL! This is not just a pregnancy related issue either…athletes, weekend warriors and golden age ladies take note.  Pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone at any point in their lifespan and all women should have their pelvic floors assessed before issues arise. .

When your pelvic floor needs an assessment:

  • You’re pregnant
  • You’re participating in impact or heavy lifting sports
  • You’re beginning menopause
  • Before and after abdominal or pelvic surgeries or radiation therapy
  • Pain during sex…even just a couple of times.
