June 2011 'Exercise and the Pelvic Floor' Education forum Sydney "I would just like to tell you, yes you do change lives! One of our PT's Samantha Ward-Grodd attended one of your sessions at Filex this year. She was overwhelmed with your wisdom on the importance of Pelvic Floor awareness, and became very enthusiastic about spreading the word as well. Samantha has spent the last few weeks organising a local physio, Kelly Kopcheff to visit our Gym and present an information session on pelvic floor health and exercise. Last week Kelly gave two talks, one for our staff and one for our members. We had a great response to the talks, and our members and staff appreciated Sam and Kelly's efforts. It is quite amazing knowing that we do have the ability to change people's lives, isn't it! Thank you for being such a great mentor and ambassador in the Fitness industry Marietta. We are listening!"

"I wanted to thank you for the Continence Foudation of Australia brochures and resources you gave out at one of your workshops I attended a while ago. Because of these I was able to give one of my regular deep Water Workout participants relevant and helpful info about her pelvic floor muscle issues. She has been able to go back to the doctor and have an informed discussion about what she needs and she feels confident that things can improve. It has really made a difference in her life.

Online Education Want to learn more about the pelvic floor?
The Continence Foundation of Australia is excited to announce the launch of "Positive Practice for the Pelvic Floor", an online CEC course for fitness professionals in partnership with the Australian Fitness Network. For more information and to register visit the Australian Fitness Network website "I have recently completed both parts of the online Pelvic Floor course through the Australian Fitness Network. Part 1, Proactive practice explains brilliantly, the links between exercise and the pelvic floor, and gives us an understanding of why pelvic floor safe exercise is important for all women. Part 2, Proactive planning is a fantastic introduction to pelvic floor safe exercise modification and programming, and how to start bringing the pelvic floor 'into mind' for both female exercisers and fitness trainers. Make sure that you view the accompanying videos, presented by Marietta Mehanni and Shira Kramer. They provide practical advice to begin immediately incorporating the Pelvic Floor First guidelines into exercise programs and classes. The course and videos also have much to offer those already developing pelvic floor safe exercise programs; I gained new ideas , great cues and very clear facts and explanations, to add to our Safe Exercise programs and support services for women. I know that this course will become an important part of our coaching team's Safe Exercise professional learning pathway. I urge all fitness professionals to take a look ... and do the course! Don't forget the videos!"
