The Female Pelvis: Anatomy & Exercises

Its ok

I should probably have known more about my pelvis than I did before (and after) I had a baby, but I know a LOT now, because of this book. This was the perfect accompaniment to seeing a pelvic floor physio (who recommended it). It helped me visualize/see what I was trying to do and what muscle groups, etc., I was trying to work with. I wish I had known all of this sooner, but now is the time.

I ordered because I went to a workshop with Jennifer Mercier, dr. and midwife and we were asked to buy this book.I like it because it has a very easy understanding language and it has very good illustrations. It has lot of exercises which make it very usefull in praxsis.

This book has changed my life and I haven't even read more than a total of 50 pages yet!- Great illustrations- detailed and accessible information- well-organized- to-the-point- easy to read in random spurtsI have learned so much and I just wish I had read this while I was pregnant (rather than a year after giving birth). Before reading this book, I felt like my body was just never going to be the same ever again. Now, I am learning some simple exercises to get things working the way they used to. It's very empowering and I am grateful for this book.

This book is my handbook on pelvic floor information and exercises that help you become aware of all the complex muscles. The first one I have read that tries to clear the fog and does not lump all muscle action into a "kegel." It clearly distinguishes surface muscle movements from deeper muscle movements, as well as separating pelvic floor muscle control from abs and glutes. The concept is getting you to visualize the areas first in order to get a picture in your mind before trying to activate the muscles. It works a lot better that way. I am still working on it and wish there was a way to talk with someone directly for feedback. My physical therapist has agreed with most of what I have asked about from this book.

My wife love it
