Urinary Incontinence is the involuntary, unpredictable leakage of urine. In simple words, it means a person urinates when they do not want to. Urinary Incontinence occurs when you lose control over your urinary sphincter. It is a common occurrence in older adults and women who have given birth or have undergone menopause. It is a medical condition that can affect your social, emotional and psychological life.
Pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) combined with electromyographic biofeedback (EMG-BF) achieves better outcomes than PFMT alone in stress urinary incontinence (SUI) or pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) management.
JOGO Therapy utilizes pelvic floor muscle exercises (PFMT) ± biofeedback (EMG-BF), which are recommended by the American Urological Association for urinary incontinence management. JOGO treatment for urinary incontinence comprises 1 session per week for 10 weeks - duration of each session is 1 hour. JOGO Therapy can be administered either in the clinic or at home via teletherapy session. All sessions are conducted by JOGO-certified pelvic floor therapists.
This condition involves involuntary leakage of urine during activities that increase pressure on the bladder, such as coughing, exercising, sneezing, or laughing. It is predominantly observed in middle-aged and younger women.
In men, urinary incontinence can often be linked to prostate surgery, prostate enlargement, stroke, Parkinson's disease, or diabetes. Proper diagnosis of the underlying cause is crucial for effective treatment.
Pediatric urinary incontinence refers to the loss of bladder control in children who have already achieved toilet training. This can occur during the day or at night and can be a source of significant frustration. Fortunately, multiple treatment options are available for this.
Women may experience urinary incontinence due to conditions impacting the bladder nerves, such as childbirth, pregnancy, or the hormonal changes associated with menopause. Prompt evaluation and treatment with clinically proven methods are advised.

Biofeedback is a beneficial tool for retraining weak or overactive pelvic floor muscles. With Biofeedback, you can control muscle activation more easily during functional and athletic activities and create strategies for pain reduction. The biofeedback device measures the strength of muscles and the resting tone using either external electrodes or vaginal or rectal probes. A screen displays when and how your muscles contract or relax. The feedback can be used for therapeutic training and to measure your progress.
