Menopause and Your Bladder
Free session for SFH colleagues "The menopause and your bladder - a focus on pelvic health from the physiotherapy team"
| Date | Time | Location/link |
| Future dates to follow |
Do you find yourself rushing for the loo more frequently than you used to? Leaks, accidents or worried about your ability to "hold on"? Are you worried that your pelvic floor isn't what it used to be or want to maintain good pelvic health? Worried about or experiencing feelings of prolapse? Pain "down below" impacting your sex life?
This session is for you!
Morgan Lowe, Pelvic Health Physiotherapist and Menopause Champion
The pelvic health physio team here at SFH will be leading this session which aims to provide you with all the knowledge and skills you need. There will be time to ask questions but no obligation to turn your camera on or speak (we will have the chat box up and running so don't worry if you don't have access to a mic or feel uncomfortable asking "out loud"). Due to the timing of this session, please feel free to bring your lunch with you as you log in. We are a friendly, warm team of experienced clinicians who want to empower you to feel more confident in your next steps to good pelvic health. This will be a relaxed session and we hope to see you there!
