The BS Women Typically Hear

It's "Normal" Aging. Just Live With It

While more common with age, pelvic floor dysfunction isn't inevitable. Many older adults maintain healthy function with proper care and exercise.

Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Is Rare

In reality, pelvic floor dysfunction is quite common, affecting a significant portion of the population. Many people may not seek help due to embarrassment or lack of awareness.

Surgery Is The Only Solution

Various non-invasive treatments, physical therapy, lifestyle changes, and exercises, can be effective.

It Only Affects Physical Health

 Beyond physical symptoms like incontinence or pain, it can affect emotional well-being, leading to anxiety or depression.

Kegel exercises are always the solution

Kegels can strengthen pelvic floor muscles, but aren't one-size-fits-all. Some need relaxation techniques for tight or overactive muscles.

Only Women With Children Are Affected

Childbirth can cause pelvic floor dysfunction, but many women who've never given birth face challenges due to genetics, hormones, or lifestyle.

Only Women Experience It

Men can also experience pelvic floor issues, including incontinence and pelvic pain.

Emotional Wellbeing

Connected to emotional health. Pelvic floor awareness improves body awareness and self-esteem.

Core Stability

Pelvic floor muscles provide pelvis and spine stability, supporting better posture and movement mechanics.

Continence

Strong pelvic floor muscles maintain urinary and fecal continence, vital for physical comfort and psychological well-being.

Reproductive Health

Essential for pregnancy, labor, postpartum recovery, and sexual health—enhancing pleasure and reducing discomfort.

Support For Organs

Supports bladder, uterus, and rectum. Weakness can lead to organ prolapse, significantly affecting quality of life.

Pain Management

Pelvic floor dysfunction contributes to pelvic, lower back, and hip pain. Addressing pelvic health alleviates these issues.

Physical Activity

Strong pelvic floor enhances sports and exercise performance by providing support and reducing injury risk.
