Issue Codes Incontinence Products for Women
Women with overactive bladder syndrome may benefit from doing pilates exercises that are specifically designed to strengthen the pelvic floor, it has been claimed.
Dr Bruce Crawford, who helps people with urinary incontinence in the US, told KoloTV.com that just one month of pilates for the pelvic floor, or ‘pfilates’, can help people to hold in their urine.
“This is the most successful method of pelvic floor rehabilitation that we’ve encountered,” the expert told the news provider.
Patients are hooked up to a screen while they are performing the exercises, enabling them to visualise the muscles they are working and perfect their technique.
One patient who has benefited from the innovative approach is Karen Carabio, who tried pfilates after her medication stopped working.
She revealed: “It’s been huge to completely avoid surgery and getting away from medication has freed me completely.”
Overactive bladder syndrome is common in the UK, with research cited by Patient.co.uk indicating that as many as one in six adults are affected.
Furthermore, studies show that about one-third of people with an overactive bladder have episodes of urge incontinence .
