The Effect of Pre-operative Pelvic Floor Muscle Exercise on Surgical Outcomes in Women With Stress Urinary Incontinence

Participants will attend regular physical therapy visits (weekly X 2 weeks, bi-weekly X 4 weeks, and continuing monthly) until the time of their surgery. they will then see the physical therapist for assessment, exercise and advice at 2 and 4 weeks after their surgery. During physical therapy visits, patients will receive two sessions of biofeedback training, and at each visit will work on strength and motor control exercises for their pelvic floor muscles.
