  • urinary incontinence, leakage ( 33% of women )
  • prolapse, uterine / bladder / rectum, small intestine ( 40% of women )
  • sexual dissatisfaction, low libido / lack of sensation / pain ( 42% of women )
  • anal incontinence ( 5-10% of women )
  • overactive bladder ( 16% men )
  • erectile dysfunction, ED ( 5-15% of men )
  • "Vaginismus", of Pelvic Floor Dystonia
  • Levator Ani Syndrome
What is it, though? It's actually a total of 8 exercises taught to you in combination with specific percussive breathing techniques that activate small muscles of the pelvic floor to retrain your body's musculature. The treatment plan is personalized by trying all 8 and identifying which of the 8 you feel are the MOST effective in activating your core muscles. Those will be your magic exercises that you do at home in your weekly routines for the 28 + days. Your trained PFilates provider (Dr. Bathurst)  will provide you with a journal to keep track of your progress. 

You do not have to live with wearing pads, feeling exhausted throughout the day having to "hold your insides in" or pushing through sex with your partner(s) because your body no longer enjoys it. Life can improve and your body can heal. PFilates can help you heal, and fast. Get scheduled today !
