Free Stuff

Just want to remind everyone of the large amount of free articles available in the field of Pelvic PT.

Pub Med http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/sites/entrez?db=pubmed

Just did a quick search with “pelvic floor muscle exercises” and came up with 715 documents – 73 free full text.  Some are not in English and a few are very old but the majority are very good papers published by good researchers in reputable journals. 

Free full PDF.com  http://www.freefullpdf.com/

This site is not so good at finding a specific paper but will help with a wide search.  The filters are not so good and many that come up are not appropriate.  I plugged in “pelvic floor muscle exercises” and came up with 147,000. The first is an article on the comparison of two PFM training programs published in 2011 – nice article, third citation is a Cochrane review.
