MRPT Incontinence Program
Female Urinary Incontinence
By Marianne Ryan-Swanson, BS, PT, OCS
Urinary incontinence is most common among women and it is estimated that one in three women are affected at some time in their life. Some may experience a small amount of leakage after sneezing, coughing or laughing, others will experience leakage on a more consistent basis.
Physical Therapy and Incontinence
Women must understand that incontinence is not something you should "learn to live with". Urinary incontinence is not normal and resigning to wearing pads for the rest of your life is not acceptable!
Many women are unaware of the recent breakthroughs in the non-surgical treatment methods for urinary incontinence, with physical therapy being the least invasive.
A physical therapy treatment program should be discussed with your physician as an alternative treatment method before reviewing other more invasive treatment options.
Our Treatment Approach
The MRPT INCONTINENCE PROGRAM® takes a holistic approach to urinary incontinence and emphasizes the restoration of your quality of life.
Our team of highly trained physical therapists has the training and expertise to treat incontinence and bladder control issues in women. They work with women of all ages and with several types of pelvic problems ranging from simple cases requiring only pelvic floor exercises to more complex cases that require more extensive treatment methods.
Individualized treatment programs take into account all the special needs of each patient and the sensitive nature of this condition. We make sure that you feel confidant and secure in our private treatment rooms.
Our Holistic Approach Includes:
- Exercise
- Treatment Modalities (Biofeedback, Electrical Stimulation, Vaginal Cones)
- Dietary Changes
- Behavior Modification
- Patient Education
- Emotional Support
The reason why so few women try to find a cure is because of the sensitive nature of this condition and the low level of patient awareness of the new treatment options available.
