Information on Incontinence
| If
you are suffering from involuntary urine leakage or bladder instability,
you should know that Incontinence
is Treatable.
Browse
through our web site to see the
products
that are available, and then make an appointment with a physiotherapist
or nurse continence advisor having the clinical biofeedback equipment
to treat your condition effectively. Many community hospitals and
physiotherapist clinics offer a urotherapy clinic for pelvic muscle
retraining. Your doctor or public health office can help in locating
a therapist.
There
are several different options for seeking treatment. If you want to try self-treatment, you will achieve much better results by using one of our home trainer products. A set of Aquaflex vaginal cones, a PFX or a muscle stimulator can make a big difference for home therapy! Contact us to place an order If you are a physiotherapist or nurse, there may be a pressing need for these services in your community. You CAN set up an effective Incontinence Clinic. By offering a range of treatment options, the Physiotherapy Approach is highly effective in treating bladder problems whether light bladder leakage (LBL), unstable bladder or mixed incontinence. With an Equipment Recommendation (Prescription) from your doctor or therapist, many extended medical insurance plans will pay for needed exercisers and home trainers. We have a form that you can use: Printable Equipment Recommendation Form Best-Practice Clinic Guideline A multi-disciplinary committee of clients, gynecologists, urologists, family practitioners, physiotherapists and nurse continence advisors in Canada has produced a best-practice guideline for assessing and treating urinary incontinence. A summary of the guideline, published by the Canadian Continence Foundation, is presented as a flow chart English French. A key feature is that for all cases of Stress/Mixed/and Urge Incontinence, pelvic floor therapy in the form of environmental and lifestyle interactions, pelvic floor muscle training (Kegel exercises), bladder retraining is the first treatment, and occurs before considering pharmaceuticals or surgery. Thanks goes to the Canadian Continence Foundation for undertaking this study and making the results freely available.
Since pelvic floor therapy is highly effective in producing a durable cure for bladder dysfunctions, surgery is only rarely needed. Pharmaceuticals are usually only needed for temporary symptom relief while you are waiting to start physical therapy treatment.
