Urinary incontinence has been described as the most widespread, yet least known and understood affliction in society today. This problem can seriously impact on your lifestyle, professional career, emotional wellbeing, exercise activity and your sex life. Furthermore, the typical sufferer may differ these days, with many men the problem following prostate cancer treatment. In Conquering Incontinence, physio Peter Dornan gets behind the stigma and misunderstandings to help you overcome or further improve your condition.
There are a range of different treatments currently available. Standard pelvic floor exercises are usually prescribed, but Peter Dornan has added to that and developed, through first-hand experience and research, an innovative physical program that helped him conquer his own urinary incontinence following his treatment for prostate cancer. In this book he describes a new and physical technique that promotes increased circulation, enhances neuromuscular reflex activity of the urinary system and improves muscular control of the abdominal and pelvic regions to help you actively combat urinary incontinence. Follow the program of simple physical exercises and build up to a more vigorous routine as your strength increases.
If you or someone you know suffers from urinary incontinence, Conquering Incontinence, written by an experienced physiotherapist who has "been there, done that" will be an invaluable resource. Primarily a self-help guide for men and women suffering from urinary incontinence, professionals working in the field will also find this book useful.
An article by Peter Dornan, describing the results of a series of case studies using this program, has recently been published in the Journal of Science & Medicine in Sport.
