Training to improve pelvic floor muscle strength in women
This research tests whether a special training program based on a behavior-change model (the Transtheoretical Model) can help improve the strength of your pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor muscles support your bladder, bowel, and uterus, and strengthening them can improve bladder control and other pelvic health issues.
