An innovation in pelvic floor therapy to help with bladder leaks
Manage episode 332203434 series 3343401
When it comes to controlling bladder leaks, innovation has often been lacking - there haven't been all that many advances beyond behavior modification, dietary changes and Kegel exercises to help you stay dry. At least until now!
Technology is increasingly coming to the rescue, with a number of new devices hitting the market that have the real promise of improving your symptoms. One of the most intriguing of these is the Leva Pelvic Health System, a convenient, easy-to-use, at-home program that combines unique motion sensing technology with personal coaching to help women strengthen their pelvic floor and decrease the symptoms of stress, mixed and urgency incontinence, including overactive bladder.
In today's podcast, we talk with Jessica McKinney, and physical therapist who's been closely involved with the development of the Leva system to learn more about what it is and how it works, and we also spend some time discussing the value of physical therapy in coordination with other treatment methods to address bladder incontinence.
