About this event

Incontinence: Strategies for Patients and Clinicians

Speakers: Chantal Pinsent, MScPT and Keeley Smith, BScPT are physical therapists and experts in their field.

Join us for a conversation about incontinence!

Incontinence — loss of bladder control — is a common and often embarrassing problem. The severity ranges from occasional leaking when running, coughing or sneezing to a sudden, urgent, uncontrollable need to urinate. Incontinence often occurs with aging and after having a baby, but there are options beyond leak protection.

Our expert panel will provide patients and clinicians with a physical therapy approach to assessing, diagnosing and treating incontinence. You will learn about accessing care, self-management techniques, and having better conversations about incontinence – with your physiotherapist, doctor, and family network.

WHO SHOULD ATTEND?

- Women who want to learn about incontinence and how to be a better self-advocate.

- People who care about women and want to better understand the challenges of coping with incontinence.

- Healthcare professionals interested in understanding the patient journey and options for care.

- Community stakeholders that want to drive new conversations for better health outcomes.
