Incontinence…..an unspoken epidemic.
Incontinence, the involuntary leakage of urine or faeces, is a very common condition affecting about 20% of the population. It is one of the major reasons for nursing home placement.
Among the highest risk groups for incontinence are women of all ages who have given birth, women who are post- menopausal and men who have had their prostate glands removed. Those with a history of childhood bedwetting are also more likely to experience incontinence later in life.
Incontinence can be greatly improved or even cured by addressing certain risk factors and doing pelvic floor exercises.
Studies show that a pelvic floor rehabilitation program under the supervision of a physiotherapist is highly effective.
Home Visit Physio provides dignified and discreet treatment for incontinence in the comfort and convenience of your own home. Due to the sensitive nature of pelvic floor rehabilitation, an informed consent must be signed prior commencement of treatment.
