Incontinence

Stress and urge incontinence resulting in either the leakage of urine or the need to void frequently is a common problem in women. However, these conditions are not normal as the litany of ads for incontinence pads would have us believe. Physical therapy can be very effective in treating incontinence. Evaluation includes a detailed history, assessment of your pelvic floor strength, and discussion of your diet and bladder habits. Treatment includes pelvic floor strengthening, bladder retraining, dietary changes, and techniques to help you gain control of your incontinence. There are Physical Therapists at Edge PT who are specifically trained in this specialty.
