<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Book </b></p></br></br>"Urinary incontinence is an untimely, embarrassing, and life-limiting condition. This book [presents a] ... treatment plan ... along with real experiences of people and the author herself. Although this was written for women, many male patients [may benefit, too]"--Provided by publisher.<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Urinary incontinence is an underdiagnosed and underreported condition with major economic and psychosocial effects on society. Women are more likely to experience it due to issues with the pelvic floor brought on by pregnancy and menopause. <i>The Bathroom Key</i> is a treatment plan for women to cure their own incontinence issues. It also allows women to identify with other women through the anecdotal stories that echo their feelings of isolation and embarrassment. Written in easy-to-understand language, the book is a genuine teaching tool, guiding the reader to a better understanding of her body and effective remedies.</p> <p>Whereas in recent years some mention of the Kegel muscles and exercises have become common knowledge, this book is much more than just Kegels. By incorporating key elements of the physical therapy approach in this book, the reader will be encouraged to self-assess, modify behaviors, re-train her bladder, alter dietary habits, and practice a variety of exercises to self-treat and cure her incontinence. In most cases urinary incontinence is completely treatable with physical therapy. Women can regain bladder control, not have to take medications, throw away pads and regain their dignity.</p> <i>The Bathroom Key Is: </i> <p><ul> <li>Written in a friend to friend style that reveals the secrecy around urinary incontinence through real life stories of women dealing with the embarrassing and life-altering symptoms <li>Advocates for PT as something that can radically help the problem <li>Lists a variety of behavioral and practical exercises and allow people to self-treat at home (and also tells them when they need to see a physical therapist) <ul></p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Physical therapist Kassai and Perelli, who successfully treated her incontinence with the suggestions in this book, describe normal bladder function and four types of incontinence and their causes. While personal consultation with a physical therapist is recommended, Kassai presents her own eight- to 12-week program with specific exercises to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles and eliminate leakage. Dietary changes and regular exercise, including Pilates, are recommended. A list of resources and products as well as a glossary are included. The positive tone, combined with women's stories of success, should prove inspirational to readers. Exercises are well explained and easy to follow."-"Library Journal"<br>
