Do you pee a little when you laugh? cough? run? jump?
Incontinence affects both men and women and can worsen with age!

Benefits are an enhanced pelvic floor muscle strength, improved bladder control, reduced urinary incontinence, and increased sexual satisfaction.
INCONTINENCE
For Men
1 in 6 men under the age of 40 have urinary incontinence!
As men age, they lose testosterone, strength, muscle mass, gain weight and start having urination and prostate issues. A weakened pelvic floor and diminished muscle tone after prostate surgery often result in bladder leakage and frequent urination.
For Women
34% of female high school athletes reported incontinence !
4 years after delivery of their 1st child: 30% reported urinary incontinence and 7% reported fecal incontinence. Long labours and carrying large babies increased the incidence of these.
1 year after a hysterectomy, 33% of women had pelvic pain
SEXUAL HEALTH
Many men find it challenging to communicate about erectile dysfunction and urinary incontinence with their partners.
This leads to strained relationships and creates emotional barriers that impact overall sexual satisfaction.
The loss of pelvic floor strength leads to common sexual health concerns for women.
These concerns include physical discomfort, body image concerns, reduced sex drive and strained relationships.
Improving your pelvic floor strength helps with physical benefits, as well as personal confidence and improved intimacy.
Benefits for men are:
- stronger, fuller erections
- ejaculation control
- increased sexual satisfaction
Benefits for women are:
- improved lubrication
- vaginal tone & tightness
- greater sexual satisfaction
