Over a third of Australian women suffer from urinary incontinence, and it’s estimated at least half of women who’ve had more than one child have some degree of genital prolapse. Pelvic floor
disorders affect many women, and health professionals often recommend exercising the pelvic floor muscles in order to keep them strong to reduce symptoms and prevent disorder. We asked five
experts if all women should be exercising these muscles regularly. FIVE OUT OF FIVE EXPERTS SAID YES _HERE ARE THEIR DETAILED RESPONSES:_ ------------------------- _If you have a “yes or
