Incontinence is often times ignored, not addressed, or considered ‘normal’. Physical Therapists are well positioned to identify, refer, and treat urinary incontinence. This introductory course will cover what incontinence is, what physical therapy professionals can do, not just in home health, but in any setting to help cure incontinence, and make appropriate referrals for people who present with urinary issues. This course is directly related to the practice of physical therapy and therefore appropriate for the PT and PTA.
Please note the Home Health Therapy Toolkit for Treatment of Urinary Incontinence is available for download FREE on the Home Health Section website under resources and then e-documents.

In 2016 he started training in pelvic health with the goal of expanding the role of PTs in home health to address issues of incontinence for both men and women which culminated in co-authoring the “Incontinence Toolkit” with Sarah Haag and Kenneth Miller for the APTA home health section. Jamie has recently taken on a new role in the Primary Care setting in addressing broader population health needs including persistent pain management, pelvic health/incontinence, and frailty in the older adult.
