The Stress Incontinence Workshop - Strengthening the Pelvic Floor

"Urinary stress incontinence is an epidemic. But most women can be helped by strengthening their pelvic floor. Jane Burdick, a Certified Feldenkrais Practitioner®, can show you exactly how to do this—in the privacy of your own home."

Christiane Northrup, MD., and author Women’s Bodies, Women’s Wisdom (Bantam, 1998) The Wisdom of Menopause (Bantam, 2001)

Stress-Incontinence is involuntary urinary leakage from coughing, sneezing, laughing, lifting and exercising.

It effects tens of millions of women of all ages in the United States.
Most people don’t know that it is possible to regain control without surgery.
In roughly twenty minutes a day for a month, anyone can improve and even banish the problem altogether.

Anyone can do these exercises. Everyone can improve! The pelvic floor is a series of muscles and, like any other muscles in the body, can be influenced by strengthening in specific ways. Many women have completely forgotten how to connect to their muscles "down there" due to pregnancy and childbirth, trauma, weight gain, surgery, illness, injury, general numbness or other good reasons. It's not a question of fault but rather just a question of re-education. The automatic functioning that we used to take for granted has just slipped out of our awareness and can be regained.
