Hey guys,

Have any of you gone through a physical therapy program for Urinary Frequency and Urinary Urgency?

I have been bothered by this for quite a while, my urologist put me on Mirabegron extended-release tablets, and this has really helped me a lot, but I am still bothered by it. I just had my last checkup on my implant, where I brought this up again and said I was still bothered by it and was given a referral for pelvic floor physical therapy. I asked if it helps and was told they have seen a lot of success. When I called to make an appointment, I was told I would be doing pilates. Has anyone had this type of PT and has it helped you?

I was also told insurance doesn't cover this, I find that hard to believe, I am on Medicare and have an excellent PPO supplemental policy that has paid for any PT I have ever needed. What do you guys think about that? I haven't check with my insurance yet.

Yes, I'm going thru it now, consist of a lot of squeezing pelvic floor. It helps with sneezing and coughing because you are focused on it. But I still leaks, I'm still enrolled in the program so hopefully it helps. but I'm still having 'male sling "surgery to help because I believe when you get older those pelvic muscles might get weak again.

Scoop,

Are your PT sessions using Pilates for the exercises? Is your insurance covering the expenses?

Yes it include Pilates,and yes ins cover it"VA"
