In this episode hear how being a visual learner  led to MJForget to draw diagrams for her own learning and the pathway to the brilliant idea of turning them into a foldable laminated model to allow clinicians and patients a better understanding of their pelvic floor muscles which are now used world wide in our clinics and hospitals to educate clinicians and patients on the anatomy of their pelvic floor.

We discuss the pelvic floor and how these models can help in many settings.

These are the original models, now sold across the world.

In Australia you can buy them from:pelvicfloorexercise.com.au  or  outside Australia direct from her online store www.totalpelvichealth.ca
