The possible causes of urinary incontinence in men and women include urinary tract infections, immobility, pelvic floor dysfunction, enlarged prostate, bladder stones, stroke, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, medications, and surgery.
Studies show that physical therapy can help incontinence sufferers in 85-90% of cases. In Motion Physical Therapy has developed a program of physical therapy intervention for urinary incontinence that is customized to each patient’s needs.
Urinary incontinence can be treated in 1 – 2 visits per week for most patients, and it’s covered by most insurances.
