An offering from Sarah on what might be going on with your bladder…
Waylaid from exercise by having to stop to pee too often?
Don’t bother going out to run for fear that you will wet on yourself?
Have you had to give up the thing that you love because you leak when you run?

Sandy told me a great story of a very good occupational therapist she used to work with, who gave an inservice on his new shoulder protocol. It was a handout of all the standard rotator cuff exercises, with one exercise scribbled out. Which exercise doesn’t matter for this story.
The medical profession is filled up with a variety of different letters: PT, DPT, MD, DO, DC, WCS, certified, board certified…. All of those letters might instill a sense of confidence. Or just confuse you.
