Treating Incontinence and Pelvic Pain with Physical Therapy – It Works!

“Incontinence is definitely not a disease, it is false that it’s a normal part of aging… it can be treated and it can be prevented,” asserts Kimberly Burton, PT, CSCS, Physical Therapist at the Eisenhower Pelvic Health Program in Rancho Mirage, California. Eisenhower Health’s Pelvic Health Program treats urinary and fecal incontinence, constipation, pelvic organ prolapse and pelvic pain syndrome.

And, Burton most definitely wants to get the word out that these conditions are treatable and NOT a normal part of aging. She offers compelling statistics to help us understand that these conditions can be treated. Among people who report these types of health concerns, 40% suffer incontinence of some sort. Yet the cure for one aspect of incontinence, stress incontinence, is up to 70% effective!
