We test out the "Libby Incontinence chair at Core Life Wellness and interview Pelvic Health Physiotherapist Dr. Sinéad Dufour about ALL the bladder problems.

Dr. Sinéad Dufour has dedicated a large part of her professional life to the support of safe conservative care strategies to prevent and effectively correct pelvic floor dysfunction. Many women suffer unnecessarily with these issues, so she advocates around providing comprehensive knowledge and care, and innovative technologies. She is the proud mother of two wonderful children (twins!), whose birth was the catalyst for her professional interest in pelvic health.

Dr Sinéad Dufour is an Associate Clinical Professor in the Faculty of Health Science at McMaster University, Canada, where she teaches and conducts research in both the Schools of Medicine and Rehabilitation Science. She completed her MScPT at McMaster University (2003), PhD in Health and Rehabilitation Science at The University of Western Ontario (2012), and then returned to McMaster to complete a post-doctoral fellowship (2014). Her current research interests include conservative approaches to prevent and manage pelvic floor dysfunction, pregnancy-related pelvic-girdle pain, and interprofessional collaborative practice models of service provision to enhance pelvic health. She is an active Urogynecology Committee member of the Society of Obstetricians and Gynecologists of Canada as well as the Prevention and Health Promotion Committee of the International Continence Society. Dr Sinéad Dufour has authored several clinical practice guidelines related to urinary incontinence.
