Kort biografi

Kari Bø er utdannet fysioterapeut fra Oslo i 1979 og har full idrettsfaglig utdanning fra Norges idrettshøgskole (NIH) med hovedfag i 1980 og dr. grad fra 1990. Hun ble utnevnt professor i 1997. Bø var valgt prorektor ved NIH 1998-2001 og rektor 2013-2017. Hun var den første visepresidenten i International Organization of Physical Therapists in Women’s Health, WCPT 1999-2007, og har vært nestleder i Fagrådet for fysisk aktivitet i Helsedirektoratet i 8 år. Rådet ga direkte råd til Helseministeren om fysisk aktivitet, inaktivitet, form og helse. I tillegg har hun vært nestleder i Faggruppen for idrettsfysioterapi i Norsk Fysioterapeut forbund (NFF) 2003-2007. Bø har en 20% stilling ved Akershus Universitets Sykehus, Avdeling for Kvinnehelse (gynekologi og barsel) og var delaktig i opprettelsen av Bekkensenteret ved sykehuset hvor hun fortsatt er medarbeider.

 

Professor Bø har publisert/har under revisjon > 330 fagfellevurderte vitenskapelige artikler om dysfunksjon i bekkenbunnen, behandling av urin- og avføringsinkontinens, underlivsprolaps, bekkenbunns-smerter og seksuell dysfunksjon, korsrygg- og bekkenleddsmerter, trening under graviditet og etter fødsel hos den generelle befolkningen og blant idrettsaktive, rectus diastase, målemetodikk, fitness og kvinnehelse generelt og har gitt > 350 inviterte internasjonale key-note presentasjoner. D-index var 72 i mai 2023. Hun har veiledet 22 ferdige dr.grads kandidater/prosjekter og et stort antall master studenter, og har for tiden11 dr. gradsstudenter under veiledning. I tillegg har hun publisert et stort antall populærvitenskapelige artikler, videoer/dvder, podcaster og bøker om bekkenbunnen, fitness, trening under graviditet og etter fødsel og og trening og kvinnehelse generelt; blant disse er e de to mestselgende treningsvideoene i Norge publisert gjennom KK, det største kvinnemagasinet i Norge. Hun var den første fagpersonen tilknyttet dette kvinnemagasinet for å skrive om trening for kvinner. Hun har gitt en lang rekke intervjuer i aviser, radio, TV og i sosiale medier nasjonalt og internasjonalt.

 

Bø har utviklet og undervist etter- og videreutdanningskurs om dysfunksjon i bekkenbunnen, forebygging og behandling for fysioterapeuter i NFF siden hun disputerte i 1990 og har gitt utallige kurs og workshops for helsepersonell og fagpersoner i idrettsvitenskap internasjonalt. Hun var utnevnt medlem av Programkomiteen for Klinisk Forskning i Norges forskningsråd (NFR) i 3 år og utnevnt medlem fra NFR til Science Europe, EU også i 3 år. Professor Bø var utnevnt styremedlem av Gymnastik og idrottshøgskolan (GIH) av den svenske regjeringen 2017-2020. Hun har vært gjesteforsker (fellow) ved Stanford University, CA, USA, og gjesteprofessor ved University of Dunedin, New Zealand, University of Melbourne, Australia, The Ministry of Health, Singapore, The George Institute for Public Health, Sydney, Australia, Bristol Urology Institute, England, Monash University, Melbourne, Australia and Auckland University, New Zealand.  Bø har vært gjesteprofessor ved University of Sao Paolo, Ribeirao Preto, Medical School, Brazil i de siste 12 årene.

 

Professor Bø er æresmedlem av NFFs faggruppe for Kvinnehelse, the Brazilian Physiotherapy Association for Women's Health og the Chilean Physiotherapy Association for Women's Health. I 2014, ble en av hennes studier på effekt av bekkenbunnstrening rangert og gitt pris  som en av 15 beste randomiserte kontrollerte studiene (RCT) i fysioterapi i blant >25.000 RCTer i PEDro database. I 2015, ble hun gitt “The Mildred Elson Award”, den høyeste utmerkelsen i internasjonal fysioterapi fra World Confederation of Physiotherapy (WCPT/WP), for hennes bidrag til Forskning og utdanning innen dysfunksjon i bekkenbunnen og kvinnehelse. I 2016 mottok hun “The International Continence Society Lifelong Achievement Award” for sin forskning og utdanning om bekkenbunn og inkontinens. I 2019 ble hun utnevnt til æresmedlem av NFF for sitt arbeid innen fysioterapi i Norway og internasjonalt.

 

Bø har bakgrunn som danser (jazz og moderne), rytmisk gymnastikk (Nordisk mester i tropp) og «sportsmodell» med visning av norsk sportstøy bl.a for Eksportrådet i et danse og turnshow i Norge, Las Vegas USA, Tyskland og Frankrike. I 1989 utviklet hun “Gymnastikk i tiden”, et 80 timers kurs for aerobic instruktører og et 60 min treningsklasse for helsefremmende og forebyggende trening for kvinner (innhold: aerobic dans/utholdenhet, bevegelighet, styrke og avspenning). Hun har 35 års erfaring med å undervise denne treningsformen 2 timer i uken for > 40 kvinner i regi av de lokale gymnastikk og turnforeningene
