Is your pelvic floor trying to tell you something?
Do you need to cross your legs when you laugh or sneeze? Need to know where the bathrooms are along a road trip? Experience discomfort in your pelvic area? These may be signs your pelvic floor is trying to tell you something. While many pelvic floor symptoms are common, you don’t have to live with them. They can be treated. We’re here to help.
3.3 million Canadians experience stress urinary incontinence, and 1 in 4 women and 1 in 3 men will experience pelvic pain in their lifetimes. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can successfully treat these symptoms and many others.
Join Uma Ghosh and Alana Lazareck-Devlin, pelvic floor physiotherapists and clinical leads for Lifemark, for an online discussion about the pelvic floor, the symptoms you may be experiencing, and what you can do.
You will learn:
- Symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction
- Treatment strategies
- Leading research recommendations
- How pelvic floor physiotherapy can help
