An integrative and practical resource for physical therapists and
patients to improve pelvic floor dysfunction symptoms It is
estimated that the incidence of women with at least one pelvic
floor disorder will nearly double from 28.1 million to 43.8 million
by the year 2050. Incontinence affects one in three women between
the ages of 15 to 65, between one and three out of 10 men in the
same age range, and an estimated 14% of adolescents under age 15.
Pelvic floor dysfunction, incontinence, weakness, imbalance or
excessive tightness can cause debilitating symptoms in men and
women that can significantly impact quality of life. Fitness for
the Pelvic Floor, Second Edition builds on the popular prior
edition by internationally acclaimed physiotherapist Beate
Carrière with new clinical applications and contributions from
coauthor Dawn-Marie Ickes on topics physical therapy students need
to learn. The book starts with a section on anatomy and physiology
of the pelvic floor, with discussion of breathing, muscles, tone
differences, incontinence, and medications and nutrition. The
second part features seven chapters detailing effective treatment
options and exercises. Straightforward, simple exercises and
heightened sensory awareness tips described in the text and
presented in videos have proven to be the most efficacious
treatment methods for many patients. Therapists will learn how to
evaluate pelvic floor problems and develop and teach patients
appropriate treatment strategies for specific situations, such as
incontinence, dysfunctions after childbirth, and post-prostate
surgery issues. Key Highlights Anatomical and physiological content
and clear explanations of the correlation between breathing, the
pelvic floor, and abdominal muscles enhance knowledge
