Urinary Continence Program
Incontinence affects men and women of all
ages, as well as children. For many, suffering
with urinary incontinence means a life of
isolation. But it doesn’t have to be that way.
Incontinence is a common medical condition
and most people can be helped. The Urinary
Continence Program uses an approach that
works to retrain both the muscles and
bladder. The program does not involve any
surgery or medication. For comfort purposes,
all services are offered in private treatment
rooms.
