- The surgical protocol
- Reconstruction of the pelvic floor
- What to look for in a surgeon (if you wait to get to that level)
- Preventative intervention
- How mild to moderate case therapy should involve biological breathing and
- How important it is to attend to the structures supporting the actual pelvic floor vs focusing just on the pelvic floor
