Course Information
Pelvic Floor Weakness, Stress Incontinence, Frequency & Urgency
Or
“Only when I laugh”
10-12 Week Pelvic Health Online Course – £50
If you suffer from stress incontinence (leakage of urine, wind or stool), Urgency (when you need to go and you just can’t hold on), Frequency (needing to go to the loo more often than normal especially through the night), or a little bit of everything you may need to strengthen your pelvic floor muscles and learn some new bladder habits.
You will learn how to contract and relax the pelvic floor muscles correctly, how to sit and stand well to improve the way the pelvic floor works. How to use the breath to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and how to strengthen the hips, buttocks and tummy muscles to support the pelvic floor in everyday life.
Each week will include daily homework for you to do between sessions and a pelvic floor friendly Pilates class from week 3.
If you are unable to feel a pelvic floor contraction and relaxation it may be that your pelvic floor is over-active or in spasm and this course is not appropriate for you. If you are experiencing pelvic pain, irregular bleeding or discharge please see your GP before joining this program. If you are not sure if this program is appropriate for you please get in touch.
On week one you will need a pen and paper and somewhere comfortable to lie down. Please wear loose comfortable clothing. I suggest that you invest in a Pelvic Educator to help you do the exercises correctly.
For week 3 you will need a medium strength resistance band.
The course consists of 6 units, each with a 50 to 60 minute video and homework. In addition there is a video on hypopressive breathing. Ideally the course will be completed in 10-12 weeks but you will have access to it for 6 months.
