Continence & Women's Health Physio (CWH)

Membership of the CWHPA will benefit all physiotherapists, from those at the forefront doing research, to new physiotherapists entering the area of Continence and Women's Health.

Physiotherapists who work in more remote areas and need to treat Continence and Women's Health issues without access to specialist services, can benefit from the wealth of experience and expertise available.

So much work has been done over the years in the area of Continence and Women's Health and we would like to make it easier for members to access new information and resources in the area of Continence and Women's Health Physiotherapy.
