We “erected” this program with the root goal to address Pelvic Floor rehab and function in men. About 1/4 men will have some dysfunction in life, at any time about 1/8 already do, but on average it takes 6 YEARS to diagnose. Learn proper contraction, relaxation and coordination of the pelvic floor and associated structures in the area.
