title: Raising awareness of a hidden problem: pelvic floor promotion.
abstract: 1. Many women experience some degree of urinary incontinence following childbirth. 2. Women are generally unaware of their pelvic floor muscles. 3. Pelvic floor promotion could begin in adolescence, rather than postnatally. 4. Women find it difficult to obtain suitable advice on urinary incontinence, and nurses also need education on promoting continence.
