    Hello,

     

    This was a great article and it is so nice to see women being educated on their choices.  Surgury should always be a last option.

     

    I work at Skill Builders Physiotherapy Clinic in Ontario and we have a therapist that is certified and specializes in pelvic floor.  There has been remarkable success for those that have accessed the program, both men and women.  Something worth noting that wasn't touched in the article is that a trained physiotherapist can also help train the pelvic floor muscles to relax for those who are experiencing the opposite of incontinence.

     

    Sincerely,

    Paula Richards
