Advice & Tips
I wouldn't say this has fixed my incontinence issues. I still have to RUN to the bathroom sometimes. I learned that I am capable of emptying my bladder; but to do so I have to lean forward and push and push and push. I think this behavioral modification has been, if anything, more effective than the medication.
