Pelvic Floor Disorders in Neurological Patient

June 14-16 and 21-23, 2024
Course Instructor – Sandra Aguilar

Between June 14th and June 24th, KITE Clinics conducted a series of courses focused on enhancing the management of neurogenic bladder and bowel syndromes.

Sandra Aguilar Zafra, a PhD candidate specializing in neuropelvic health in MS patients and a seasoned physiotherapist in hospital and community settings, made her inaugural trip to Canada to instruct the courses. Her extensive expertise and international teaching background were instrumental as the first course covered external management techniques, blending theory with practical approaches for neurological patient care, and the second course reviewed internal interventions, enhancing comprehension of pelvic floor assessment and treatment from an intracavitary perspective.

The immediate impact was evident, showcasing how clinicians can better support patients with bowel and bladder challenges, address sexual dysfunction, and improve pelvic health.

This marked a pivotal first step in elevating care standards for individuals with neurological conditions, addressing critical gaps in current management practices.
