Mind Over Bladder & Unbind the Bowel

Up to 40% of people with Parkinson’s experience urinary issues. Join us and Erica Vitek, MOT, OTR, BCB-PMD, PRPC, an occupational therapist and board-certified pelvic rehabilitation practitioner, as we discuss common bladder and bowel issues people with PD may experience. She’ll help you understand what normal bladder function looks like, and what the pelvic floor muscle is and how it supports bladder health. Then she’ll dive into the solutions you’re seeking: practical lifestyle changes that can improve bladder and bowel function, resources for incontinence, and helpful exercises.
