NEOCONTROL PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY SYSTEM
You’ll find no mention of pelvic prolapse, urinary or fecal incontinence in prenatal classes, and little attention devoted to them in menopause guides. But ask a soccer mom or baby boomer about ‘leaking, bulging, pads and diapers’ in private, and you’ll be likely to hear a personal story, see a surgical scar, or be asked the question “you mean that’s not normal at my age?” Fortunately, incontinence and pelvic floor symptoms are finally gaining recognition as common problems that affect women young and old, ones that can severely diminish the self-confidence and physical function of women trying to maintain full and active lifestyles.
In many cases, pelvic floor problems attest to the extraordinary physical demands of pregnancy, labor, and delivery – though they often arise years or even decades afterwards. Urogynecology is the first women’s health specialty devoted to the treatment of these disorders, and as such, is offering brand new perspectives on childbirth and its potential aftereffects. Indeed, the lifestyle and childbirth decisions of today’s 30-year-old may impact key aspects of her physical function at age 40, 50 or 60. Just the same, incontinence, prolapse or sexual dysfunction experienced by a 50-year-old may relate to choices she made during childbirth, years before. Doctors, nurses and researchers in urogynecology are committed to promoting a better understanding of these conditions and their causes, and to helping women make informed decisions at every stage.
NeoControl Pelvic Floor Therapy System is a non-surgical therapy for the treatment of incontinence in women. For patients whose incontinence is caused by a weakening of their pelvic floor muscles, NeoControl can offer unique therapeutic benefits. Unlike other therapy options, NeoControl exercises all of the muscles in the pelvic floor to rebuild strength and endurance and restore bladder control. NeoControl accomplishes this while the patient sits fully clothed in a comfortable chair.
StepFree Toning Pelvic Floor Program is a complement to Neocontrol´s therapy—see the “Urinary Incontinence” Section.
