Common Questions
Is incontinence a normal part of aging?
Although it is normal to lose some strength in the aging process, it is not normal to have leakage occur. As we age and as women have children, incontinence is not an issue that should continue long term to be "dealt with". With the help of physical therapy, patient and therapist as a team can determine weakness, coordination issues, and behavior traits that may need to be modified to decrease incontinence.
How can physical therapy help me pre / post pregnancy?
