Resource Package - Female and Male Urinary Incontinence

Overview:

Urinary incontinence is an important health issue that has traditionally not been well managed.

One in four women and one in nine men are affected by urinary incontinence.

Ongoing research into core dynamics recognizes the pelvic floor as an important component of core retraining, and yet, accurate assessment and treatment techniques of the pelvic floor are lacking in clinical practice.

Hypertonicity vs. hypotonicity of these muscles needs to be addressed through palpatory assessment of the pelvic floor.

The Cochrane Collaboration (2010) has demonstrated that internal pelvic floor muscle training has Level 1 evidence in treating urinary incontinence. Physiotherapists need to go beyond teaching externally driven Kegels in order to effectively rehabilitate the pelvic floor.

This is the online research package that complements the Pelvic Health Solutions (PHS) Level 1 course. In this resource package, you will have access to video exercises, written education and protocols which you can share with patients (an Embodia Membership is required to prescribe exercises).

What's Included:
