Have you ever laughed so much you wet yourself - just a little bit? Or found yourself crossing your legs on the doorstep frantically searching for your keys? Do you get up at night to go to the toilet more than once? Estimates suggest that approximately 200 million people around ...the world suffer from some form of urinary incontinence. It's an embarrassing problem that affects both men and women but is far more common for women as a result of pregnancy and childbirth. The Pelvic Floor Bible tackles the taboo head-on to show that not only is incontinence very common it is also easy to resolve. The book will cover: - What is the pelvic floor and how does it work - Common problems - stress incontinence, overactive bladder, prolapse - Pregnancy, childbirth and the menopause - Sex and the pelvic floor - Pelvic floor rehabilitation - Male bladder problems - everyone has a pelvic floor! The Pelvic Floor Bible will show you how to incorporate pelvic floor exercises as part of your normal routine, and equip you with all the resources you need to prevent issues in later life and cure existing problems now. Jane Simpson has had her own private practice at the prestigious London Clinic in Harley Street for 22 years where she treats patients with all forms of incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction. She is a member of The Pelvic Floor Society, The Association for Continence Advice and The British Association of Urological Nurses. This is her first book which she hopes will spread the word on a global scale that pelvic floor dysfunction is curable and does not need to be life limiting.

NZ Review |
Wonderful that the spotlight is being shone on and taboos broken about this common condition which so many women endure in silence - too ashamed to even talk about it. Now is the time for all of us to speak out about the reality of what it means to be female. -- Jennifer Nadel * Co-author of WE: The Uplifting Manual for Women Seeking Happiness and the co-founder of Compassion in Politics * Jane's book is something that is very much needed - a book that addresses a topic we try to brush under the carpet, but one that is necessary to get out there and have information on. She is without doubt the perfect person for the job on this - as she has the right manner, attitude and help to make this subject less taboo. -- Emma Forbes * Radio and TV Presenter * I loved reading this guide and found all the tips super informative and helpful after the birth of my second child -- Anniki Sommerville * The Selfish Mother * |
