• A Cochrane Review including 14 studies, and 836 women finds high-level evidence in support of using supervised pelvic floor muscle strengthening programs for the treatment of urinary incontinence (Dumoulin et al, 2010).
• A study of the “bladder training” behavioral approach to treat urge incontinence in women over 55 finds a 50% reduction in incontinence episodes after six weeks. A 75-100% reduction was found in most participants after six months of treatment (Subak, 2002)
