Studies show one in three women who give birth face some sort of ongoing issue as they get older, from prolapse to stress incontinence, but the ageing process can impact those who never go through pregnancy as well.

Today, Francesca and Louise talk to Caitlin Day, a pelvic floor physiotherapist and the found of Unity Studios, specialising in classes that helps women recover after injury or improve the strength of their pelvic floor as they get older.
