Thorough and comprehensive by California PT (Berkeley, Ca)  4 Stars
January 09, 2009
I am a pelvic floor therapist and have been searching for a book to suggest to my patients. Amy does a fabulous job of self-help for those with chronic pelvic pain. It is on my suggestion list for all patients who suffer any type of pelvic pain. Easy to read and not too technical.
Doesn't really take the place of physical therapy hands on but certainly is an adjunct with the therapy.

It is estimated that in the US incontinence costs 26 billion dollars a year.
