Your treatment is based on the information obtained from your health history and the pelvic floor muscle measurements taken during the initial consultation. Your therapy may include:

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
It will be determined whether or not you are contracting the correct muscle, and when the muscle begins to fatigue. Using this information, a customized muscle strengthening routine will be prescribed.

Pelvic Floor Stimulation
This is done with an internal sensor, which stimulates the pelvic floor muscles, causing a comfortable, timed contraction of the pelvic floor. Low frequency, low intensity stimulation, along with muscle strengthening, calms the contractions and symptoms of an overactive bladder.

Bladder Retraining
Once strength is improved to the pelvic floor, the bladder can be "retrained" to hold a larger volume so bathroom stops are not so frequent and sense of urgency can be controlled.

Dietary Changes
Some people can help alleviate symptoms with simple dietary modifications, which will be discussed during therapy.
