Description

Involuntary loss of urine is extremely annoying and very embarrassing! No one wants to lose a droplet, a little stream or help the full bladder content!!

Loss of urine is a common problem, and the exact number is not known. Most people are embarrassed to seek medical advice and this is a real concern. Unwanted loss of urine happens in men, women and children!

For many women and men experiencing incontinence, the problems can be solved with the information provided by this course and no further need to visit a professional is necessary. It provides easy-to-follow education, exercises, and practical tips to help you strengthen, heal, and care for your pelvic floor.

The course is self-paced, but please note that it's necessary to perform the exercises over a longer period of time to see progress. Unfortunately there is not a "magic-pill" that can be taken to take care of urinary incontinence.

Note that: While pelvic floor muscle training / exercises can strengthen weak pelvic floor muscles, they’re not right for everyone. If your pelvic floor muscles are too tight, doing pelvic floor muscle training might make the problem worse. A pelvic floor therapist can help you determine the right approach for your condition. This course will also help you recognize symptoms that indicate the need for a pelvic health specialist.
