It's an issue that affects one-in-three women - or more than 200 million people worldwide - but isn't widely talked about: urinary incontinence. Dr Jenny Kruger is a researcher in the area of pelvic floor and muscle function and dysfunction in women and has led the Pelvic Floor Research Group at the Auckland Bioengineering Institute since 2011. Hannah Orr has had over 15 years of experience as a pelvic floor physiotherapist. Both of them will be part of a panel discussion being held in Auckland for Women's Health Week that looks at everything from incontinence to prolapse and pelvic pain. They join Susie to talk about moving beyond stigma and what people can do to strengthen their pelvic floor.

The team behind MindKiwi, a pilot programme using mindfulness, pūrākau/traditional Māori stories, and movement for tamariki/children with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD,) is now looking at whether the approach can benefit all children with emotion regulation difficulties. ‍

University of Auckland researchers Professor Peter Thorne and Dr Haruna Suzuki-Kerr are on a mission to change that – with the help of a sheep’s skull and technology.
