The Importance Of Pelvic Floor Muscles

Pelvic floor muscles

Kari Bo of Oslo University explains why they are “the most important muscles for women’s health” and the best exercise techniques for these muscles.

Bladder weakness is one of the most common consequences of weak pelvic floor muscles and a staggering 1 in 4 women will experience it at some point in their lives.

Weak pelvic floor muscles can be due to lack of exercise. Like any other muscles in the body, if the pelvic floor muscles are not exercised they can become weakened.

Recent research revealed that 64% of women exercise once a week or less and only 5% of women exercise more than 3 times a week.
