Summary

Why Pelvic Health Matters. An honest and empowering guide to understanding your body.

This book takes women on a vital journey to better understanding their pelvic health throughout all stages of life, and empowers them to take control of the core of their physical and mental wellbeing.

Pelvic health issues can impact a huge range of physiological functions but there is very little information or help readily available for these problems. Pregnancy and childbirth can have a significant impact on pelvic health, but did you know that it can also be affected by other things? This can commonly lead to physical symptoms relating to your bladder, bowels and sex life as well as impacting mental health.

But knowledge is power, and Clare Bourne has dedicated her career to improving our pelvic health – this book contains answers to all the questions you’ve been too embarrassed or scared to ask, and many more you didn’t know you needed the answers for – nothing is TMI!

Including explanations of symptoms, with practical tips, advice and exercises throughout, this book covers:

1. Understanding Our Foundations: Getting to know (and love) your body

2. Where Did Our Story Begin? How early life lays our foundations

3. Bump, Birth and Beyond: Care, prepare and recover

4. Moving Through Life: Perimenopause and beyond

PLEASE NOTE: When you purchase this title, the accompanying PDF will be available in your Audible Library along with the audio.

Critic reviews

‘Clare is the voice of reason when it comes to pelvic health. She educates, empowers and offers practical tips to help women through all stages of their lives. As a currently pregnant woman, I shall be book marking the “Birth, bump and beyond” chapter for the foreseeable!’ Dr Sara Kayat

‘As a gynaecologist I thought I was well-informed when it came to pelvic floor health, but after 2 appointments with Clare I realised how much more there was to know! Now everyone can have access to Clare's fantastic knowledge & skills through this book that I'll be recommending it to all of my patients.’ Dr Anita Mitra

‘A revolutionary book that changes your entire view on the female body.’ Chessie King

Brilliant Resource

I’m expecting my third child and halfway through training in the Mummy MOT course. This book is perfect as the patient and the practitioner. Information is easy to understand and absorb, with very helpful summaries at the end of each chapter. The perimenopause chapter was especially interesting, and I’ll be relistening to it as it was packed with knowledge I’d never come across before. Recommend to all women, from adolescence to post menopause.
