Event Description
If you have any concerns about your pelvic floor: "what is it?", "where is it?", "how to engage it?" and "how best to look after it?", then this workshop should be really helpful in answering your questions.
We will cover the basic anatomy of the pelvic floor and try some exercises and visualizations to help you contract the pelvic floor muscles.
We will also think about some of the bad habits we slip into such as the 'just in case wee' which actually hinder rather than help our continence.
This workshop will be led by Helen Tudge, Chartered Physiotherapist and Mirthy's regular Pilates instructor.
- Duration: 45 mins

We also recommend that pets are either calmly sitting on your lap or in another room, and any refreshments you may require are within your reach!
