Pelvic Floor First

هذا الوصف ل Pelvic Floor First

The Pelvic Floor First app is designed for people at risk of or experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction, who want to get back into exercise or keep exercising. Many standard exercises can place increased pressure on the pelvic floor muscle, leading to stress incontinence during exercise, or increasing the risk of incontinence.
Pelvic Floor First aims to encourage exercises that put less pressure on the pelvic floor, to reduce the risk of bladder and bowel problems.
Features:
- Create customised workouts
- Listen to the music on your phone during workouts
- explanatory videos and step-by-step instructions for exercises
- Save your favourites
- Links and further information
- Share the app
Common signs that can indicate a pelvic floor problem include:
• leaking urine when you exercise, laugh, cough or sneeze
• needing to hurry to the toilet or not making it there in time
• constantly needing to go to the
toilet
• finding it difficult to empty your bladder or bowel
• accidentally losing control of your bladder or bowel
• a prolapse
• pain in your pelvic area
• painful sex
Incontinence can be prevented, cured or better managed by following the right advice. Anyone experiencing any of the above symptoms should seek advice from a health professional or call the National Continence Helpline on 1800 33 00 66 to speak with a continence nurse adviser. The Continence Foundation recommends people embarking on an exercise program should first consult with a health professional.
