Pelvic Rehabilitation for Women
Pelvic rehabilitation for urinary incontinence offers women an alternative to extensive surgery. The therapy includes biofeedback exercises and electrical stimulation, as well as patient education to reduce incontinence.
Memorial Regional Hospital has specially trained physical therapists who will perform an initial assessment to determine your specific treatment protocol. All assessments and treatments are performed in a confidential, comfortable and sensitive manner. The therapist will help treat your condition by providing you with a personalized education and exercise program, a bladder diary, a voiding schedule, a fluid management system and bladder retraining.
