The Pelvic Floor.
Abstract
Online platform 'The Pelvic Floor' Although pelvic floor problems are common in women, there is still a taboo. A multidisciplinary team of researchers from the University of Antwerp and the UZA wants to change this by launching the online platform 'The Pelvic Floor'. The online platform consists of informative blogs, links to the right informative websites and fascinating testimonials to give women the right knowledge and insights about pelvic floor problems. In this way, women receive the necessary guidance to help prevent and reduce complaints and limit relapse or deterioration. The accompanying social media campaign is strongly committed to providing preventive information. Every woman is unique and deserves genuine information about her pelvic floor. Knowing more? Be sure to take a look at the online platform.Researcher(s)
