Don’t let your bladder or bowel stop you from doing the things you love!
About 80% of people with a spinal cord injury (SCI) will experience bladder or bowel dysfunction. Together with our friends at Coloplast, we are focused on reducing barriers to sport and recreation and giving you the freedom to get on with the things you love. That’s why we are offering FREE bladder and bowel clinic appointments (for all continence product users) at our Sporting Wheelies location. We also offer virtual appointments for those who cannot make it on-premise.
Do you:
- Get frustrated with your current bladder routine?
- Experience bladder infections more than twice a year?
- Have urinary leakage more than twice in 6 months?
- Want to know of any new catheters available in the market?
- Spend more than an hour on the toilet to try and move your bowels?
- Worry about having faecal accidents, even though you use diet and medication to manage your bowel?
If you answered “YES” to any of the above, we can help you access FREE nursing support. Request your free bladder and bowel appointment with an Accredited Coloplast Continence Nurse below. Bookings are subject to availability and require an appointment.
When you have a SCI, it is important to take care of your bladder and bowel to give you the freedom to get on with activities that are important to you. Don’t let your bladder or bowel stop you from doing the things you love, and request an appointment today.
