An integrative and practical resource for physical therapists and patients to improve pelvic floor dysfunction symptomsIt is estimated that the incidence of women with at least one pelvic floor disorder will nearly double from 28.1 million to 43.8 million by the year 2050. Incontinence affects one in three women between the ages of 15 to 65, between one and three out of 10 men in the same age range, and an estimated 14% of adolescents under age 15. Pelvic floor dysfunction, incontinence, weakness, imbalance or excessive tightness can cause debilitating symptoms in men and women that can significantly impact quality of life. Fitness for the Pelvic Floor, Second Edition builds on the popular prior edition by internationally acclaimed physiotherapist Beate Carriere with new clinical applications and contributions from coauthor Dawn-Marie Ickes on topics physical therapy students need to learn.The book starts with a section on anatomy and physiology of the pelvic floor, with discussion of breathing, muscles, tone differences, incontinence, and medications and nutrition. The second part features seven chapters detailing effective treatment options and exercises. Straightforward, simple exercises and heightened sensory awareness tips described in the text and presented in videos have proven to be the most efficacious treatment methods for many patients. Therapists will learn how to evaluate pelvic floor problems and develop and teach patients appropriate treatment strategies for specific situations, such as incontinence, dysfunctions after childbirth, and post-prostate surgery issues.Key HighlightsAnatomical and physiological content and clear explanations of the correlation between breathing, the pelvic floor, and abdominal muscles enhance knowledgeEasy-to-follow exercise routines focus on activating and relaxing pelvic floor musclesDefinitions of essenti

Book condition
An important factor of a second-hand book is the condition of the book. The buyer may not be surprised. Always mention damages or defects. We use a system with 3 stars:
The book is acceptable: you have used it to study and made notes and markings – but everything is still readable. The cover and pages are in good condition.
The book still looks good: there are a few notes in it and you marked it. There are hardly any signs of use on the cover and pages
The book is (almost) new: you have not written or marked in it. There are no signs of use on the cover and pages
