Pelvic health resource pack

  • Area of Work: The ALLIANCE
  • Type: News Item
  • Published: 16th October 2024

The ALLIANCE and Scottish Government have produced several resources on pelvic floor health, in support of the Women's Health Plan.

The pelvic floor is a large group of muscles at the base of your pelvis. They work together to support the pelvic organs, and are important for continence and sexual function. All bladder and bowel functions need good pelvic floor muscles.

To support better awareness of pelvic floor health, and point people in the direction of tips, tools and sources of support that can help them maintain good pelvic health or manage any concerns, the ALLIANCE and Scottish Government have produced several resources.

Prioritising pelvic health – Webinar recording

This webinar explains the function of pelvic floor muscles, as well as outlining how to prevent, self manage or seek support for symptoms of bladder and bowel incontinence, and prolapse. Our webinar speaker is Jenny Munro, Advanced Practice Physiotherapist (Continence), NHS Highland.
