Did you know that almost every exercise you do affects your pelvic floor? And that some exercises can actually harm these muscles, leading to bladder or bowel control problems?

The aim of the project is to reduce the number of men and women who experience pelvic floor dysfunction as a result of inappropriate exercise regimes.

A Wee Secret - Childrens book

Written by Childrens Continence nurse Jacqueline Brown and illustrated by ex-Disney animator Myke Sutherland.

Jet and Tui are friends.  They both have a secret problem with bedwetting.  Their story will help children who wet the bed to see that they are not the only ones, and that with a little help one day their secret too will be a thing of the past.

A comprehensive section at the back of the book provides information and practical tips for parents on how to support children through their bedwetting journey.
