Synopsis

Do you love exercising but are limited by a bladder that leaks?
Do you know where every restroom is on your daily commute?
Are you avoiding sex due to pain, or just bearing through it, wondering where all the fun went?
Have you been told that you have vulvodynia, vestibulitis, pudendal neuralgia or a "tight pelvic floor," and are just wondering what's REALLY going on?

Millions of women struggle needlessly with pelvic floor dysfunction causing bladder urgency, urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain that interferes with sexual function and other daily activities. The topic of women’s pelvic health still suffers from taboo and stigma, making good information and real solutions hard to come by.

Drawing on 13 years of experience as a pelvic health physical therapy specialist, Debbie Cohen now lifts the veil of mystery and confusion surrounding these common ailments. Showing that these conditions are more than a nuisance and should not be ignored, Debbie connects women with the answers they need to get back to living the life they love, and maintain vibrant pelvic health well into their later years.
