There’s never been a better time to get your body and pelvic floor in peak condition – and with help from a book written by a top international physiotherapist, you’re in expert hands!
Inside Out, written specifically for women by renowned Australian physiotherapist Michelle Kenway, is a complete guide to pelvic floor safe exercise – just think of it as your pelvic floor’s guardian angel!
Already the recipient of international acclaim, Inside Out teaches you how to choose effective fitness and strength exercises that minimise the risk of pelvic floor injury – whether you have pelvic floor dysfunction, are returning to exercise after vaginal surgery, have vaginal or rectal prolapse and are wanting to exercise, are menopausal and exercising for strength and osteoporosis, have exercise associated incontinence or are simply returning to exercise after childbirth.
With an illustrated strength training program, fitness exercise guidelines, tips and advice on how to identify inappropriate exercises, abdominal exercises to avoid, a pelvic floor training program and more, Inside Out is sure to become your go-to guide this season and beyond.
Kenway says through her work as a physiotherapist she sees many women with pelvic floor issues who are unsure how to exercise safely and without fear of worsening their condition.
“I hear so many stories from women about how they’ve injured themselves at the gym from doing the wrong exercises, potentially putting their pelvic floor – and overall health – at risk. It’s a daunting prospect for women to exercise their pelvic floor when they don’t have the resources or knowledge to do it properly.”
Inside Out has also attracted the attention of international experts at the top of their game. Professor Judith Goh, internationally-renowned Urogynaecologist, says Inside Out is an excellent educational tool for women of all ages.
“There is a great need for the information contained in this book to assist women who want to exercise without a negative effect on their pelvic floor,” says Professor Goh.
