Bladder dysfunction, pelvic pain, prolapse, abdominal separation and general core weakness are all real issues affecting too many women. The Pelvic Floor Connection podcast is a relaxed exploration around pelvic and core health. It draws on my education in physiotherapy, personal training and the pregnant and post partum core; the insights from my wonderful, inspirational clients; plus my fairly raw experience as a mum of two! So, if you want to better connect with this truly amazing piece of anatomical wizardry, then join me, Sarahjane West-Watson owner of Fit Fanny Adams, every other Wednesday, for a light hearted chat on this serious subject.
