Post-birth incontinence can be difficult to come to terms with both physically and emotionally. Despite many women suffering from it, it’s rarely discussed, which is why [[https://www.myinnovo.com/uk/
INNOVO]] wants to encourage conversation and raise awareness of the issue. INNOVO’S experts, Dr Meg Arroll, a Chartered Psychologist and Behavioural Change Specialist, and Aoife Ni Eochaidh, a Chartered Physiotherapist and Clinical Specialist in Women’s Health & Continence, are here to help answer any questions you might have about bladder weakness.
Here’s some more information about Dr Meg Arroll:
“Chartered Psychologist with The British Psychological Society. Dr Meg started her career in academia, focusing on medically unexplained conditions that leave people feeling lost, neglected and at sea in a world of symptoms, stigma and pain. Dr Meg's interest in bladder conditions stemmed from her own experience of bladder pain and the sheer lack of open discussion on this topic, leading her to publishing What's Up With Your Bladder (Hammersmith Books) in 2018. Dr Meg's aim is to guide people through their journeys, so that they have the confidence to move forward with resilience and psychological flexibility, rather than shame and embarrassment.”
Here’s some more information about Aoife Ni Eochaidh:

Aoife is a peer nominated Medico Legal Pelvic Physiotherapy Expert, providing services in the UK & Ireland. Passionate about the pelvic floor, Aoife was inspired to work in pelvic floor physiotherapy seeing first hand the awful impact pelvic dysfunctions had on her late Grandmother.”
