It’s a kind of health we don’t discuss but should: pelvic floor health. Good quality pelvic floor function is important for active living, but age-related changes—including shifts in hormones, weaker or stiffer pelvic floor muscles, and even changes in connective tissues—can cause a decline in pelvic floor health. As a result, many of us put up with urinary incontinence, urinary urgency and frequency, bowel problems, and pelvic pain.

 The good news is that there are specific steps you can take at any age to restore pelvic floor health and return to the life you love. Think beyond the traditional Kegel exercises and explore the latest physical therapy approach with Brittney Cappiello, a licensed Pelvic Floor Physical Therapist. Brittney will discuss how the pelvic floor works and how it changes as we age, leading to a variety of problems. She will demonstrate how to do your own self-assessment to determine problem areas and specific movement practices to address these problems. Walk away knowing how “in control” you are of your pelvic floor health and specific ways to improve it.
