While surgery for urinary incontinence can offer symptom relief, it is invasive, carries recognized risks, and outcomes can decline over time, with some patients experiencing recurrent symptoms or requiring further surgical inter - vention. 3 Pelvic floor strengthening exercises are widely recognized as the

first-line treatment for urinary incontinence and have been shown to reduce symptom severity and slow symptom progression over time, which may help delay or even avoid surgery. 4 Sigrun Watson, owner of UROSPOT Winnipeg, brings decades of healthcare experience and a deep passion for preventative and women’s health. While consulting for a virtual menopause care provider, she discovered UROSPOT—a fast-growing Canadian company addressing a critical gap in care—and knew she had to bring it home to Winnipeg. “Until recently, apart from relying on people to learn to contract these muscles themselves, our options were limited,” Watson explains. “Unfortunately, without proper guidance, many who attempt Kegels do them incorrectly, resulting in a lot of effort for little gain and can even do
In clinical studies, 95% of patients report improved quality of life, and nearly 70% com - pletely eliminate or significantly reduce their reliance on incontinence products. 5 “We’re doing a lot of awareness building because we’re really trying to bring this out into the open and start a conversation,” explains Watson. “Too many women suffer in silence. We want to remove the shame and stigma and remind people that while pelvic floor muscle weakening and the associated urinary incontinence symptoms are extremely common, we don’t have to let it rob us of our quality of life.” To learn more or to book your complimentary consultation and free “Kegel Throne” trial, visit urospot.com/winnipeg.

more harm than good,” says Watson. She goes on to explain, “It can be dif - ficult for many to effectively contract their pelvic floor muscles once they already have pelvic floor weakness, leaving them frustrated and discouraged. The technology we use at UROSPOT creates supramaximal contractions—far stronger than the body can achieve independently. It’s like doing a year’s worth of Kegels in one session, helping people rebuild strength and restore the brain–bladder–pelvic floor connection.” UROSPOT’s interdisciplinary model combines world-class education, health coaching, and advanced technology, designed by a multidisciplinary team of pelvic floor physiotherapists and nurses. After a complimentary, personalized assessment, an individualized treatment and education plan is created to help clients restore pelvic floor strength and neuromuscular control—resulting in fewer leaks, fewer urgent bathroom trips, better sleep, and improved intimacy.
