What’s Going On With My Pelvic Floor?

The pelvic floor needs to be strong, but not overactive. If it is too weak you can experience continence issues, along with impaired sexual pleasure. An overactive pelvic floor leads to pelvic pain, vulval and peno-scrotal pain and vaginismus. Certain times of our lives bring issues of the pelvic floor to the forefront. The child bearing years, peri-menopause, menopause and the ageing process all create differing issues. Trauma, stress and lifestyle habits (such as sitting at a desk all day) can also add to difficulties experienced with the pelvic floor.

Many of these issues are taboo to raise, let alone discuss in detail. Caroline Blackshaw, yoga and Alexander Technique teacher for an information session and practical morning discussing and understanding more about your pelvic floor.
