Pelvic floor disorders occur when the pelvic muscles and connective tissues that support the pelvic organs are weakened or injured. Pelvic organ prolapse, bladder control problems (e.g., urinary incontinence), bowel control problems (e.g., fecal incontinence), and pain during intercourse are among the most common disorders. They can occur at any age but are most common during certain life stages, such as pregnancy, postpartum and menopause.

The program helps reduce pain and build muscle so you can find relief.

  • Pregnancy and postpartum: Prevent pain and rebuild abdominal muscles.
  • Bladder control: Reduce urgent trips to the bathroom along with that “always gotta go” feeling.
  • Pelvic muscle relaxation and control: Retrain your pelvic floor to reduce tension and relieve pain.
  • Pelvic muscle strengthening: Build your core muscles.
