Purpose:
The aim of the case study was to determine the effectiveness of massage in the management of stress urinary incontinence.
Design:
A 50-year-old woman with many years' history of stress incontinence was treated with massage.
Methods:
The methodology involved positioning of the patient and massage according to an original method including the initial, main, and final parts.
Findings:
The applied therapy contributed to a decreased amount of urine leakage (immediately following the therapy-by 21%, a month later-by 100%) and improved the quality of patient's life.
Conclusions:
A decrease in the amount of urinary leakage was observed immediately after therapy. One month after termination of massage therapy, a complete remission of symptoms was observed.
Clinical Relevance:
The presented massage procedure had a positive effect on the amount of urinary leakage on effort immediately after therapy and on few-month follow-up produced complete relief from the distress.
