The Impact of Pelvic Health on Senior Wellness

Maintaining our autonomy comes in various forms, one of which we believe is frequently overlooked is pelvic health. This workshop will be facilitated by a Registered Pelvic Health Physiotherapist who will provide insights about the pelvic floor, urinary incontinence management, useful pelvic floor exercises, as well as overall bladder and bowel health maintenance. Participants can anonymously submit questions that the healthcare practitioner will address.

Understanding Pelvic Health:

Pelvic health pertains to the correct functioning of the pelvic floor muscles which support crucial organs such as the bladder, bowel, and uterus (for women). A strong pelvic floor counters issues like incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and chronic back pain.

Why Pelvic Health is Vital for Senior Wellness:

As we age, the strength of our pelvic floor muscles can naturally diminish, leading to discomfort and mobility challenges. However, these issues are not an inevitable part of aging. Pelvic health exercises can assist seniors in preserving independence, enhancing posture, and bolstering core stability, all of which contribute to improved mobility.

Our Solution: Pelvic Health Workshop:

With our Seniors in Motion program, we believe keeping your mobility, safety and independence will help in all aspects of life. That's why we offer a specialized Pelvic Health Workshop for seniors. Our accredited professionals guide participants through safe and effective exercises targeting the pelvic area as well as how incontinence/urgency and falls have been linked. Additionally, we provide invaluable information about the significance of pelvic health and how to maintain it.

The Pelvic Health Workshop is merely one of the various workshops we offer in this program to support senior wellness in communities around Peterborough, Lakefield, Bridgenorth, and the surrounding areas.

How Pelvic Health Influences Mobility:

Possessing strong pelvic floor muscles is critical for bodily functions like standing and walking. They contribute to a healthy posture and reduce the risk of falls, a prevalent issue among seniors. Our Pelvic Health Workshop equips you with the understanding and exercises needed to strengthen these muscles, empowering seniors to enjoy their later years with confidence and freedom.

Your health is invaluable, and the Seniors in Motion program has been designed to optimizing your wellness and mobility. Recognizing and maintaining pelvic health can significantly enhance your quality of life. That's why we encourage you to take advantage of our Pelvic Health Workshop – a step towards a more mobile and independent lifestyle.
