North Bovey Belles W.I.

Tina McGahey was the guest speaker at this week’s North Bovey Belles W.I. meeting. She came to talk to us about an unmentionable problem –  it is surprising the percentage of ladies from the age of 20 who have some sort of incontinence. Tina came to help us sort it out and offer advice if it persists.  She brought along with her a model of our pelvis and our various muscles so that we could see for ourselves what it looks like inside our bodies.

She very cross with recent adverts on tv saying that stress incontinence and the occasional leak is ok.  As a physiotherapist specialising in this field, she knows that with proper advice, the problem can be solved and in so doing, savings in our purse and unnecessary plastic waste that goes to landfill.  For further information please check the website Pelvic, Obstetric and Gynaecological Physiotherapy (POGP).

Next month’s meeting is on 12^th March at 7.30pm in the Parish Hall. Hugh Dyer-Westacott  will be telling us of his experience as “Life as a wartime evacuee in Colyton”.  All new members are welcome.  For further information ring our President Nicki Shears on 07506 461191.
