Just squeeze? The pelvic floor mystery

Pelvic floor! How does this all-important group of muscles remain such a mystery to women and girls, despite the role it serves in supporting everything from exercising to enjoying pleasurable sex, preventing bladder leaks and prolapse?

Today, we're talking about it. With the help of some pelvic physios, women who've dedicated their lives and careers to learning everything possible about this aspect of our anatomy and supporting women and girls and anyone experiencing pelvic dysfunction or pain due to injury, childbirth, endometriosis or something else.

We look at what women receive internationally to support pelvic health -- including up to 20 free pelvic physio sessions post birth in France.

And we ask HOW is it that strengthening these muscles continues to go ignored, despite so many other fitness and exercise pressures placed on women. Particularly when it comes to social and media expectations of the "post baby body".

This is the latest installment of The Women's Health Project, examining the areas of women's health that have been sidelined, ignored and underfunded for too long. Alongside the positive developments occurring that are addressing these health issues, and will ultimately support a better story and future for everyone.

The Women's Health Project is hosted by Angela Priestley, produced by Allison Ho and published by Agenda Media, also the publisher of Women's Agenda. It's made possible thanks to the support of Organon.
