The Pelvic Floor muscle is a wonderful, hard-working part of the body that deserves a special kind of attention it often misses out on! Maintenance of a strong pelvic floor is essential to continence (bladder and bowel health) and sexual function - so why don’t we show it more love?
Pelvicfloor.nz is a new resource aimed at educating and empowering, by offering a wide range of information and advice regarding:
- Why the pelvic floor is important
- How to ensure your pelvic floor muscle stays healthy
- What kind of exercises can be damaging
- Who is at risk of pelvic floor dysfunction.
And more...
From expert medical advice to personal interviews, pelvicfloor.nz is here as a support resource for everyone: from fitness professionals to new mums and beyond.
We hope you find us helpful - please get in touch to find out more, tell your story, or just say hi!
