Understanding Your Pelvic Floor: With Dr. Peg Maas, DPT

Take a moment to appreciate the humble but essential set of muscles we call the pelvic floor.
When it is working well, our bladder, bowels, and sexual functioning are more likely to be trouble-free. If they aren’t working well, people can experience incontinence, constipation, pain, and a host of other troubles. Out of embarrassment or discomfort with the topic, people often turn to unreliable sources for information and help.
