- Teach how to exercise the pelvic floor muscles.
What happens in the class?
The online workshop is a live class hosted by a perinatal pelvic health physio and midwife on TEAMs. It lasts for approximately 1 hour and the physiotherapist will go through a powerpoint presentation of information on pelvic health in pregnancy or postnatally (depending which class you attend). There is the opportunity to ask questions.
