WTM: What treatment would you recommend for the women in Bahrain and why? AM: I always encourage women to look into the WHP (Women’s Health Programme). This concentrates on the female pelvic floor muscles. Ageing is the most common factor that affects this area and with lack of training and exercises, that may lead to muscle loosening or fatigue. Also, the hormonal changes that happen within pregnancy, labour, menstruation or post-menopausal periods reduce muscle flexibility and strength. WTM: What is the goal of this programme? Are there any conditions for joining? AM: A large number of women complain of incontinence, general bladder problems, a prolapsed uterus, decreased endurance during pregnancy, and loose or weakened pelvic floor muscles. The WHP aims at preventing diseases related to the dysfunction of these muscles. We teach women how and when to rest, relax and exercise these muscles, in turn increasing fitness and strength. There is no age limit for taking part in any of the A Woman’s World THERAPY CENTRE After years of monthly cycles, labour, and menopausal stress, a woman’s muscles sometimes need a little attention. Join the Therapy Centre to revive them. programmes, including pregnancy fitness, preparation for labour and post-delivery rehabilitation. All you need is to find the one that best suits your medical condition. After an initial evaluation by qualified consultants, a customised treatment plan is developed for each patient. Their progress is then continually monitored. Call 77 060-999.
