Physical therapy, particularly pelvic floor therapy, can be highly effective in managing urinary incontinence. It strengthens pelvic muscles, improves bladder control, and reduces symptoms. A specialized physical therapist can tailor a program to your needs. Consult a healthcare provider to determine if this approach suits your condition and overall health.
