"I am so glad I took the time to self-refer"

About: Specialist Nursing Services / Specialist Continence Service (South)

(as a service user),

After having children my pelvic floor wasn't what it was, along with my exercise regime. I self-referred following leaking, mainly when suffering with a consistent cough. I would also have to cross my legs before sneezing and jogging and star jumps were out of the question.

After seeing the specialist, I downloaded the squeezy app. This along with physio exercises, I have been able to strengthen my core and pelvic floor. I am now doing the couch to 5k and am halfway through with no issues. I am so glad I took the time to self-refer.

The specialist was amazing and encouraging. My journey has only been 6 months, quite short considering I have had issues for 6 years.
