Listen to this tape and Dr Rose King will introduce you to a simple lifelong habit that will enhance your physical and sexual wellbeing, now and in the future.
Pelvic Floor muscles are not the most talked about part of a women's body, but they are one of the most important. Once they become weak problems such as incontinence (loss of bladder and bowel control), prolapse and loss of sexual feeling can occur. Regular life-long exercise is vital to keep them strong.
These problems can not only be treated by an effective pelvic floor exercise programme, they can be prevented when women know how the keep their pelvic floors in top shape.
There's no need to squeeze into leotards, put on training shoes or even get sweaty. You can do this work out anywhere, any place, any time and what's more - no-one will even know you are doing it.
This innovative and motivational audio programme tells women of all ages everything they need to know about keeping the pelvic floor in top shape.
