The program is now in its third year with services provided through the Rehabilitation Services Department.
Incontinence is the loss of urinary control and affects people of all ages. Impairment of the pelvic floor muscles can result in leakage of urine when coughing, sneezing or lifting objects.
Most sufferers are too embarrassed to seek help, but in most cases the pelvic floor can be rehabilitated and function restored.
Frequently cited reasons for not seeking treatment are a belief that incontinence is a normal part of aging or an inevitable result of vaginal childbirth.
This program is an effective treatment option for prostatitis, prostatectomy, pregnancy and postpartum, menopause, aging and elderly, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson's disease and cerebrovascular accident.
Individuals who have experienced leaking of urine are reporting a reduction or total elimination of leaking, on average, within three to five visits at Sutter Lakeside Hospital’s Continence program.
Some of these people report a 10-year history of leaking. The program components are simple and practical for individuals of all ages and include lifestyle education, pelvic floor strengthening, breathing exercises and biofeedback.
If you suffer from incontinence or know someone who does, please contact your doctor for a referral. Appointments can be scheduled by contacting the Sutter Lakeside Hospital Outpatient Rehabilitation department at 262-5090.

Sutter Lakeside Hospital Wellness Center invites you to join them for the next session of their stress reduction and relaxation clinic.
During this eight-week intensive, participants learn how to create new patterns of response to stress, and how to move from being highly reactive to life events to learning how to respond with calmness.
In the small group classroom environment, participants gain support and learn from each other and the curriculum.
Participants will take a health risk assessment and general wellness inventory to assess their current state of mental, emotional and physical well-being. Through the use of diaphragmatic breathing, progressive relaxation, mindful meditation, gentle movement yoga and other strategies, participants will learn how to consciously and healthily cope with life stress.
The program begins Tuesday, April 7. The group will meet from 5:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. twice a week for eight weeks. The program is taught by wellness educator Leslie Lovejoy, Ph.D.
Dr. Lovejoy has provided this program for the past five years at the Wellness Center. The program was highlighted as a best practice in the Sutter Health television program “For Your Health” in 2006.
According to Dr. Lovejoy, “Stress is always a part of our lives and therefore unavoidable, but we can change both how we perceive it and respond to it. In making that change we take back our lives and can regain the richness and joy of living.”
If you want to change your life for the better, this is the class for you!
There is a fee for this program. Scholarships are available. Pre-registration is required by April 3.
