Session 3: Women’s Wellness Through the Ages
What does wellness look like? How does that change through our lifespan as we progress through different ages and stages? And what strategies can you start now to improve your overall wellness? Join Kate Higgins, DC, and Lisa Flanders, PT as they share their perspectives on maintaining wellness.
Lisa Flanders, PT
As a physiotherapist, Lisa Flanders began practicing in orthopedic physiotherapy, which she loves and continues to practice, but had a keen interest in pelvic floor physiotherapy. Following several post-graduate courses on pelvic floor physiotherapy, it became a passion for her. She realized many individuals have common concerns related to pelvic health but are often too embarrassed to seek advice, or are unaware that treatment is available. Her goal is to improve the health and quality of life of her clients. She wants to remove the stigma surrounding pelvic health concerns and assist her clients in regaining a connection to their pelvic floor and optimizing their health and function.
