The Pelvic Floor Project
This podcast is for anyone with a pelvic floor. Pssst….. everyone has a pelvic floor. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles responsible for controlling our bodily functions. I refer to myself as a physiotherapist for embarrassing issues. I routinely help clients address symptoms like incontinence, prolapse, diastasis, pelvic pain, intimacy issues and the list goes on. A theme that stands out to me is how little we learn about our private parts and the muscles surrounding. This podcast is for you if you are interested in learning more about your body. Focused on the female, I cover topics pertinent to puberty, athletics, pregnancy, birth, postpartum recovery, menopause, surgery and so much more.I promise to share evidence based information through discussion with other health care experts in their field with the goal to showcase a holistic and empowering approach to taking care of the only body you will ever have. I hope you enjoy!

99. Uresta: A reusable insert for bladder leaks with CEO Lauren Barker
In this episode I discuss with Lauren Barker, CEO of Uresta:
- The reasons why a Canadian Urogynecologist created the device for incontinence
- Differences between Uresta and a pessary
- What does Uresta look like and what does it do?
- Sizing
- Suggestions for insertion and removal
- How long can it be left in?
- How well does it work and which symptoms will it best address?
- Pricing
Uresta was founded by world-renowned, Canadian urogynecologist and Dalhousie University Professor Dr. Scott A. Farrell. He recognized that the options for dealing with leaks were outdated, not to mention uncomfortable, and wanted to create a non-invasive, at-home solution.
In 2014, the company was acquired by a group of accomplished Canadian female entrepreneurs. This group, headed by former CEO and current board member Carol Chapman, immediately made plans to bring this life-changing product to the world. (Dr. Farrell is still actively involved today, serving as Uresta’s Chief Medical Officer and sits on the Board of Directors.)
Today, Uresta is led by our bright and determined CEO Lauren Barker. With a background in finance and an interest in women’s health, she’s in good company with our shareholder group, comprised of the chair of a top Canadian bank, a CEO of a renewable energy company, the lead partner for a global consulting firm, a division head of a global pharmaceutical company, and other amazing and powerful women determined to help women with incontinence take back control of their life.
