Cozean Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Screen​

​

Pelvic floor dysfunction is very common but often goes undiagnosed! It is estimated that 1 in 3 or 1 in 4 women are leaking urine. Pregnancy puts a lot of stress on your pelvic floor and childbirth and obstetrical trauma are two of many risk factors for pelvic floor dysfunction. 

​

Below are 10 questions. Please read each question and answer 'yes' or 'no'. If you answer 'yes' to 3 or more questions then pelvic floor dysfunction is likely and Steph (owner/instructor) would like to discuss this with you prior to your first class. Protecting and healing your pelvic floor are priorities for Peg Family Fitness!

​

We understand that pelvic floor dysfunction and its symptoms are personal and sensitive topics. You can choose how much information you share with Steph and the other Peg Family Fitness instructors and we guarantee that your personal information will be kept confidential.
