Jane Simpson has had her own private practice at the prestigious London Clinic in Harley Street for 22 years where she treats patients with all forms of incontinence and pelvic floor dysfunction. She is a member of The Pelvic Floor Society, The Association for Continence Advice and The British Association of Urological Nurses.

This is her first book which she hopes will spread the word on a global scale that pelvic floor dysfunction is curable and does not need to be life limiting.
