Incontinence Products for Women

Older personal trainers may be more suitable for seniors as they are more likely to understand issues such as adult incontinence, it has been claimed.

According to an article in the Ventura County Star, older trainers are increasingly in demand as clients often wish to train with someone who understands their concerns and challenges.

Geri Arnais, a 61-year-old personal trainer in Oak Park, California, believes her own age helps her to train older clients.

She explained that many younger trainers "may not have the experience and tricks in their bag" to accommodate the spinal and joint problems that affect many older people.

Ms Arnais also described her own experience with an over-enthusiastic trainer in his late 20s.

She revealed: "I'm 61 years old and he's got me jumping, jumping, jumping.

"He doesn't know about (stress) incontinence or women who have had four kids who may have incontinence."

Stress incontinence is one of the most common types of urinary incontinence, which affects around 13 per cent of women.
