E48 - Incontinence - The Hidden World of Women

Speaking with many women, it seems that incontinence, light bladder leakage etc is something that they feel like they need to just live with after having a baby or as they age. So many times I have heard ‘I can’t jump on a trampoline’ ‘don’t make me laugh, tears of laughter will run down my legs’.

Whether it is the advertising for incontinence pads in the mother to be or new mother bags or the television advertising for incontinence products as women age it seems that women accept this as ‘normal’ and just the way it is now.

As we are a week out from Women’s Health Week I wanted to take this opportunity to address this issue that impacts so many women. In this episode I spoke with Women’s Health Phsyio Stephanie from Lion Rocker Pysio https://lionrocker.com.au/ about incontinence, continence, what a women’s health psysio consult might look like and how women’s health physio can make a real difference to a woman’s continence.
