The pelvic floor is a strong little muscle that works with your back and abdomen to lift your pelvic area and plays an important role in pregnancy and childbirth. It's important to look after your pelvic floor at every stage of life - but especially when you've recently given birth. More than half of all new mothers have problems with bladder control and the pelvic floor. Exercises help to prepare the body for pregnancy, speed up recovery after childbirth and help to regain control. However, it's difficult to train a muscle that you can't see - and that's where Elvie comes in.
