Pelvic floor muscles are the most important muscles a woman has - yet they are also the most neglected.
Pelvic floor muscle strength is required for control of a womans most intimate body functions.
If these muscles are neglected they gradually soften and lose their tone, just like any other muscle in the body.
And if these muscles weaken and sag, this can lead to prolapse, wetting, difficulties with bowel function, inability to wear tampons and discomfort during intercourse.
Pelvic floor problems affect 38 per cent of women but are often shrugged off as being part of the package of childbirth and ageing.
