Introducing Elaine Miller
The Efemia Bladder Support team has partnered with the very talented Elaine Miller, a successful physiotherapist and stand-up comedian. Over the coming few weeks Elaine will be introducing women to the following key topics relating to incontinence through short videos and articles.
Elaine started her career as a sports physio in Edinburgh but following three kids, a sneeze and an uninvited wee, Elaine’s career changed to focus on women’s health, in particular pelvic floor dysfunction.
Elaine now combines her excellent pelvic floor knowledge with comedy to educate women about the problem and encourage them to realise they don’t need to live with it. Elaine has an incredible talent of bringing a group of women into a room, telling socially awkward jokes about continence and getting them talking and laughing about their own problems. Given that one in three women have incontinence, she hopes to educate and support as many women as possible.
The Efemia Team have partnered with Elaine to provide short educational and comical videos to increase awareness of the problem and encourage more conversations. We hope this will enable women to understand their bodies in more detail and learn how they can improve their pelvic floor function.
