Overactive Bladder and Hip Dysfunction

This episode presents a client with a seemingly straightforward diagnosis in pelvic health of overactive bladder (OAB). The history and physical presentation tell a different story. 

Join Susan and Erica as they explore why often a regional approach will not help the client progress to their highest levels of function without symptoms. We discuss the various drivers viscerally and MSK regionally and why tendon function and the client's stage of life require the utmost consideration. 

Join us in the conversation and discover the multi-system approach in consideration of the examination and interventions for this client
