Description

Inside Out is a professional guide for how to exercise with pelvic floor dysfunction such as pelvic prolapse prolapse, incontinence after hysterectomy. Australian pelvic floor experts Michelle Kenway (Women’s Health Physical Therapist) has teamed with Dr Judith Goh (Urogynaecologist) to produce this innovative self-help exercise guide for women who are at risk of pelvic floor problems with inappropriate exercise workouts. Some medical practitioners are now becoming aware that the mistaken kind of exercises can cause serious pelvic floor problems such as prolapse, incontinence and pelvic pain.
