Combining scientific principles with movement and imagery exercises that are both effective and fun, this book demonstrates how to create a stronger body by toning the pelvic floor. Focusing on the biomechanics of the pelvic floor, which acts as a support for the inner organs and contains a passage for the urethra, the sex organs, and the rectum, this guide shows how the pelvic floor plays an important role in almost all movements, balance, and body posture. The exercises train the muscles and joints and improve the tone of the organs, thereby increasing energy flow, eliminating incontinence, and keeping sexual organs healthy. The mind-body techniques are used to increase awareness of this part of the body and to improve sexual stamina.

I had read this book in the local library and found it so very helpful with my pelvic problems that I decided to buy copies for myself and for my friend.

Based upon previous customer reviews, I was very excited about getting this book. I thought that it would help me to resolve my problems with my lower back - herniated disk L5-S1, and add flexibility. Instead it's much more of a discussion of how the pelvic bowl and floor work along with imagery of what they look like in action. It provides very little practical information about how to improve any problem areas or strengthening them. Most of the pictures are based upon the female pelvic structure, and I think the cover picture is designed just to attract male attention. This book was a waste of my time and money. Dn't waste yours!

This book is the most comprehensive book I have read. It truly helps the newbies that are interested in pilates. I have a better understanding of my body and it has helped me truly understand pilates and how it affects my body, not just my core. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is interested in pilates.

Pelvic Power is an awesome book to read and apply to your life. My once awful sciatica is now non-existent thanks to proper care and the aid of this book. I found areas in my pelvic floor region that needed attention that normally dancers don't even think about during our careers!! THe flexibility and control is remarkable and the results are immediate. I look forward to enjoying a very ahppy married life in the future, LOL!!
