Urinary Incontinence - You Don't Need to Suffer!

Last Saturday, we had the pleasure of listening to Physiotherapist Edwina Chan speak to us about Pelvic Floor health and management issues – something that is not talked about too often and is sometimes ignored.

Many people don’t want to talk about incontinence because they are ashamed, embarrassed or believe in the common misconception that it’s just part of getting older. Edwina helped us to understand that we don’t have to accept urinary incontinence as just “part of life” and be sentenced to wear incontinence pads for the rest of our lives!

Women’s Health Physiotherapists such as Edwina are specially trained to pinpoint the exact cause of the issue and devise a plan for recovery and improvement. This may include exercises, bladder retraining and monitoring. It is different for everyone, just as we are all different!

If incontinence is a problem for you, there is plenty of help available and you don’t need to suffer alone! You can make an appointment with a Women’s Health Physiotherapist such as Edwina http://www.backonthemove.com.au/index.html.

You can also get help from the National Continence Foundation. You can contact them on 1800 330 066 and chat to them about guiding you to a nurse or practitioner that can help with your specific problem.

Isn’t that a relief to know there is so much help available for this common problem?
