The aims of the study were to attempt to answer the following questions; what proportion of women know how to and are able to exercise their pelvic floor and for those who cannot can they be trained and motivated to do so. This was a nested design comprising a prospective cohort study together with a controlled trial intervention after baseline assessment in the cohort study for a defined at-risk group.
