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 that has the clinical biofeedback equipment
to treat your condition effectively. Many community hospitals and
physiotherapists clinics offer an incontinence clinic. 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

Best-Practice Clinic Guideline
A multi-disciplinary
committee of clients, gynecologists, urologists, family practitioners,
physiotherapists and nurse continence advisors 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 retaining 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 physiotherapy treatment.
