ABOUT THE AUTHOR

Kelli Berzuk is a physiotherapist and director of IPPC— Incontinence & Pelvic Pain Clinic (division of Nova Physiotherapy & Sports Fitness Clinic) in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. She is a member of the Women's Health Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA), the College of Physiotherapists of Manitoba (CPM), the Pelvic Floor Dysfunction Guidelines Committee for the CPM, and the Acupuncture Foundation of Canada Institute (CAFCI). Ms. Berzuk is a graduate of the University of Manitoba, School of Medical Rehabilitation; Division of Physiotherapy. Her post-graduate education for Women's Health and Treatment of Incontinence has been obtained throughout Canada, the
United States, and earned her post-graduate certification for pelvic floor
muscle rehabilitation and continence through the University of Melbourne in
Australia.

For the past fourteen years she has focused her practice on women, men and children suffering with urinary and fecal incontinence, and pelvic pain. Over the years it has become glaringly evident to her that most women with urinary incontinence suffer in silence and are unaware that help is available. Another concern is that women often do their pelvic floor muscle exercises incorrectly. It is her passion to educate on bladder health, available treatment options and what people can do to help themselves. Ms. Berzuk would like this information to be easily accessible to all women for the purpose of both prevention and correction of urinary incontinence.
