Urinary Incontinence Program at Palos

Palos Community Hospital's Urinary Incontinence program combines exercise, behavior modification and nutrition education to help you effectively control your bladder and resume a more normal lifestyle. Many patients prefer these therapeutic options over surgery and medications because they provide a less invasive solution without side effects. 

Our program's exercise and behavior modification component offers computer-aided feedback to help patients learn to strengthen and control the muscles that affect incontinence. Since food and beverage choices contribute to incontinence, a second major facet of the program involves identifying foods that may irritate the bladder wall and create the sensation or urge to urinate. 

The Urinary Incontinence program is staffed by specially trained physical therapists that provide services at both the hospital and the Palos Primary Care Center in Orland Park. At the first appointment, you will meet with a therapist in a private room to discuss your health history, identify specific problems, and begin proper exercise and behavior modification techniques.

If you are ready to address your incontinence problems, start by talking to your physician to determine if this program is right for you. You must have a physician referral to participate in the Urinary Incontinence Program.
