Restoring the Pelvic Floor for Women

Author: Dr. Amanda Olson

Dr. Amanda Olson is a dedicated and passionate doctor of physical therapy specializing in treatment of pelvic floor disorders including incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, pelvic pain, and pregnancy related issues. She holds years of diverse clinical experience and is a certified advanced pelvic floor practitioner (CAPP-PF) by the American Physical Therapy Association and the Herman and Wallace Pelvic Institute (PRPC).

"I wrote this book as a supportive guide to many women’s health issues because I know so many women have questions and don’t know where to turn for advice. The book provides what I call a spoonful of sugar to help the medicine go down: light hearted stories and humor from my years of practice, and easy to follow instructions and exercises as a tool to empower women to break free from the issues that keep them from doing what they love."

Dr. Olson is also the pelvic expert behind Intimate Rose, a women’s health brand whose mission to improve the health of women worldwide. She creates devices to address common and treatable women’s health issues and creates educational content for women and health care providers.
