Floored: A Woman's Guide to Pelvic Floor Health at Every Age and Stage by Sara Reardon

funny informative medium-paced

5.0

Everyone—yes, everyone—should read this book. Whether you have a uterus or not, Floored offers essential insight into the pelvic floor: what it is, what it does, and how a weak or tense pelvic floor can affect every stage of life. 

Dr. Sara Reardon breaks down symptoms many people silently endure—pain during urination or sex, leakage, back pain, frequent urination—and explains that these aren’t just things you have to “live with.” They’re treatable, and the first step is education. This book delivers that in a practical, accessible, and empowering way. 

It’s not just for postpartum moms. Floored covers everything from potty training and first periods to sex, pregnancy, birth, recovery, perimenopause, and menopause. It gives clear explanations and actionable steps on how to support your pelvic floor at every age and stage. 

I genuinely wish this book had existed 15 years ago. It’s an empowering guide that makes you feel seen, heard, and hopeful. 

 Highly recommended for: anyone with a pelvic floor. So… everyone. 

Thanks to Park Row and NetGalley for the advance reader copy.
