Integral Theory (System) of Pelvic Function new article content ...
Discovered in 1983 by Gynaecologist and researcher, Professor Peter Petros, the Integral System of Pelvic Floor function describes for the first time how the muscles and ligaments interact and operate within a woman’s pelvis to open and close waste pipes, and to support and maintain normal bodily operations.
Prior to Petros’ discovery, the way in which the urethra and the bowel functioned and operated, were incorrectly assumed to be purely the work of the surrounding muscles.
For the first time in medical history, the Integral System defines the way in which the ligaments are key role-players in the proper functioning of the system, rather than merely there to support tubes and organs. This has a profound, and previously unrecognized, influence on faecal and urinary incontinence, affecting an estimated one third of all post-menopausal women who have previously given birth.
The discovery was made on July xxxx, 198X by Poros in a hospital in Perth, Western Australia, when he was examining a patient suffering from uncontrolled incontinence. Prior to his discovery, it was thought that the ligaments were merely support mechanisms for organs such as the bladder, the bowel and the womb.
However, Petros used a simple mechanical device applied to support the woman’s sagging ligament supporting her urethra, and the incontinence stopped immediately. When the device was removed, the incontinence returned.
According to other Pelvic Floor specialists, such as Dr. Darren Gold (reference:xxxxx) “The Integral System is the greatest breakthrough in women’s health for more than a century.”
