Deep Dive Video: The PT Approach to Incontinence and Pelvic Prolapse Treatment

When you have incontinence or pelvic prolapse issues you’ll probably try any number of things to get it under control – possibly with mixed results. One of the reasons may be that you simply don’t know which of the various types or stages of those problems you have. That knowledge makes a big difference to successful treatment.

In this Deep Dive Video, Sonia Kurunathan, PT, DPT, Physical Therapist at Eisenhower Health, provides us with information we need to easily understand and identify which type and stage matches our situation and the treatment options that line up with them, including physical therapy treatments. 

If you’re looking for a thoughtful yet easy-to-understand presentation about incontinence and prolapse problems, pragmatic ideas to get these problems under control, and how physical therapy might help you, this Deep Dive Video is an outstanding resource. Topics Ms. Kurunathan covers in this Health Insights video blog post include:

  • Types and stages of incontinence and pelvic prolapse
  • What a physical therapist treats
  • Tips on how to have bladder irritants without the irritation
  • Constipation’s impact on bladder leakage
