    Re: Male incontinnence

    hi there, you should start with pelvic floor strenghtening. there are a lot of exercises. also strengthening of the abdominal muscles and all surrounding hip muscles might be indicated. I did a study about whole body vibration and it seems to influence the urodynamics positivley as well. so if you have access to vibration therapy advice use them as an additive treatment.
    good luck. cheers

    Re: Male incontinence

    hi basically the vibration therapy is based on the myostatic stretching reflex which means that you have muscle contraction and relaxation all the time during vibration. it works unconcious so you cant influence it. i did my study on animals and we checked the bone mineral density and changes of pressure in the bladder and urinate trackt.
    it was all positivley influenced by VT or better known under whole body vibration WBV. Currently we are performing a study in osteoporosis patients and the changes of koordination and stability in daily life with WBV as an additive treatment.
    i am using it as well as additive strengthening and stability training and it works out pretty well. so give it a try, its not the only way but a nice additive.
    cheers
