We're thrilled to share that our CEO Dr Sarah L. White was recently featured in the latest edition of ‘Bridge’, a free magazine by the Continence Foundation of Australia. In the article, Dr White discusses all things menopause, offering valuable advice for women who are about to enter this stage of life. She highlights that menopause is the perfect time to take charge of your health with a visit to your doctor: "Even if you think, oh, it's just menopause – go and talk to your doctor and get a full health check so that those 30-odd years you live post menopause are lived in good health."

Did you know that 7.2 million Australians live with incontinence? This common but often misunderstood condition is costing our nation an astonishing $66.6 billion annually. It’s time to break the stigma surrounding incontinence and ensure that everyone affected has access to the support and life-changing care they deserve - starting with expert first-line treatment from physiotherapists. Incontinence is more than a physical issue. It can lead to feelings of rejection, social isolation, loss of independence, and a negative impact on body image. That’s why addressing this debilitating condition is so important. Discover how incontinence affects Australians and how physiotherapy can help restore confidence, dignity, and a sense of normality for you or someone you care about: https://bit.ly/3BpjSs6.
