Discover how a healthy pelvic floor can give you a better bladder and a better life! Join us for an informative workshop with Dr. Moira Fisher, a licensed physical therapist specializing in pelvic floor dysfunction, to learn practical, non-surgical solutions for bladder control and pelvic pain. Understand the anatomy of the pelvic floor, learn how to perform proper Kegel exercises, identify ways to support your pelvic floor health, and learn if you are a candidate for pelvic floor chair therapy.
If you fit into either of these categories then this event is for you!
