Here's real help for incontinent people...

If you, or a loved one, suffer from the embarrassment and inconvenience of incontinence, this material was designed for you! On this site we provide information about the latest non-invasive techniques for dealing with incontinence. You should definitely consider these non-irreversible, no-side-effects treatments first; if they don't work you can always consider more drastic action, but chances are you will never need to!

Most Forms of Incontinence Can Now Be Cured!

In spite of what you may have heard from a medical professional (and especially if you heard it more than a year ago!) most forms of incontinence, including those resulting from birth defects, accidents, or surgery, can now be cured by vastly improved biofeedback-assisted, computer-monitored exercises.

The new treatment is far less expensive and less demanding than previous surgical approaches and has a higher success rate in the long (and often, short) run. The results are so impressive that the US Public Health Service now recommends these methods be tried first (before surgery or drugs).

Three Steps to Regaining Control

Understanding and describing your present condition. In order to get help, you need to be able to describe your symptoms to your therapist accurately. If you aren't familiar with the medical jargon, click here to see the "Types of Incontinence".
Locating a trained and experienced professional. Although there are over a thousand trained therapists who can provide this new service, you may not find it offered at every local "doc-in-a-box" clinic. Click here for Suggestions on Finding a Helper.
Practice biofeedback on a daily basis with professional supervision. Researchers have developed protocols that, when followed, produce the best results in the shortest time. Click here to find out what an Effective Continence Program should look like.

One More Thing:

Many people find it helpful to discuss their concerns informally with their peers before actually embarking on a formal program. We've set up an internet mailing list called "IncontiList" for just that purpose. It is presently made up of about 60% incontinent persons, and 40% incontinence-treating-professionals. Here is a great opportunity to ask your questions and get authoritative answers from both groups, without cost or embarrassment. Click here for instructions on How to Sign up for IncontiList!
