Urinary incontinence affects many women, yet it’s often misunderstood and under-discussed. Join Sarah Percy, Women’s Health Physiotherapist and Founder of Female Physio Co., for an informative webinar that explains why bladder leakage occurs and what can be done to manage it effectively.

Sarah will cover the simple anatomy and physiology behind stress and urge incontinence, the essential role of the pelvic floor, and why certain life stages – including pregnancy, post-pregnancy, and perimenopause – can increase risk due to hormonal and physical changes. She will also discuss other contributing factors such as constipation, heavy lifting, and respiratory conditions, along with signs that indicate when to seek professional support and what an assessment may involve.

The session will explore evidence-based treatment options, including pelvic floor muscle training, behavioural strategies, fluid management, vaginal pessaries, low-dose oestrogen, and continence products that support comfort and confidence.

The webinar will conclude with a live Q&A, giving attendees the opportunity to ask questions in a supportive, educational environment.
