Pelvic health issues can be embarrassing, stressful and isolating and it can come in a variety of forms. You are not alone. Pelvic pain and pelvic floor dysfunction are very common conditions that are often difficult to discuss with your health care provider because of the taboos often associated with that area of the body. At Bodiworks, we aim to change that. On average, it takes women 7 years to bring up pelvic floor symptoms to a health care provider. Our mission is to take the stigma away from discussing the pelvis so we can provide the healthcare that patients need and deserve.
