A new year brings new goals and new exercise plans. Forty four per cent of women will experience urinary incontinence with running — it is common but not normal.
Orlaith Kilgannon, specialist physiotherapist in pelvic health at Pelvic Health West, provides holistic and evidence-based physiotherapy to manage and prevent symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction such as urinary or bowel dysfunction, pelvic pain or pelvic organ prolapse. In line with scientific research, Ms Kilgannon will provide you with a personal plan based on your assessment to work towards your goals with many seeing significant improvements in just 12 weeks.

Pelvic Health West are also delighted to now be taking enrolments for a six week Pilates programme beginning on January 8. These classes are ideal for those who are pregnant or post-natal and looking for guidance on exercise and maintenance of strength and stability in the prevention of pregnancy-related pelvic girdle pain or management of diastasis rectus abdominus. The classes are also tailored to those experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction, such as pelvic organ prolapse or urinary incontinence, or those wishing to learn more about bone health in menopause or pelvic floor engagement during exercise.
With the small class sizes, the six week programme is guaranteed to focus towards your goals, with constant feedback throughout the 50 minute class by Orlaith. Classes run on Wednesdays at 10am and Thursdays at 6pm or 7pm. Enrol now by contacting us at info@pelvichealthwest.ie or call 091 394 496.
