The Female Pelvis: Anatomy & Exercises
by Blandine Calais-Germain
The female pelvis and its contents are an underappreciated region of
the anatomy. Important not only for sexuality, they are also central to
the processes of childbirth and elimination.
The Female Pelvis was written for women to use over the course of
their lives, with a special emphasis on pregnancy, childbirth, and its
aftermath. Its purpose is to help women become more familiar with the
pelvis and its related structures, and how to keep them healthy and fit.
The book begins with a description of the functional anatomy of the
pelvis, and how it responds to pregnancy and childbirth. This is
followed by a series of specific exercises, initially for
self-discovery, and then to increase the flexibility, strength, and
coordination of each of the pelvic functions. The book concludes with
some guidelines which focus on the pelvis during different phases of a
woman's life.
The Female Pelvis was designed to make the subject of the pelvis
understandable to all women. Anatomically correct, the language of the
text is clear and concise. Over 250 drawings illustrate every important
aspect of pelvic anatomy, and show the reader how to perform simple
exercises to keep the pelvis and its related structures fit.
REVIEWS
"The Female Pelvis: Anatomy and Exercises aims to educate both women and
women's health care providers about how the pelvis and perineum are
designed and function. [It] does this through detailed descriptive
writing and pictures that articulate specifics in an informative style
that ensures understanding for a wide range of readers." —Journal of
Midwifery & Women's Health
"The Female Pelvis is a significant book, extremely useful for
practitioners who work with women (or who are women), offering practical
self-care solutions for the phases of a woman's life, concentrating on
pregnancy and reaching into menopause. This text is richly illustrated,
using over 250 drawings to shine a spotlight on the most central,
although often ignored, region of a woman's body." —Massage Therapy
