non-Kegel exercises for incontinence

I started an exercise program to increase strength in my hip muscles to reduce back pain. I read an article about building strength in hip (not back) muscles . They have lessened the back pain in only two weeks.

There was also another benefit for me and I was somewhat shocked by it but very happy. My stress incontinence is gone!!! I can hardly believe this but it's true. The Kegel exercises did nothing for me. I did not want surgery so this is wonderful. If you are looking for alternatives to surgery you might want to try this. I am not a physician or physical therapist so this is not
professional advice. I'd definately recommend speaking to your health care provider before starting. I am only speaking to my personal experience. I don't know if this would work for men.

I hope someone finds this helpful.

Cheers, nvk

They were in the March 2012 issue of the "magazine for women over forty" with the lovely red haired actress on the cover. The first was like a side leg raise only done in a standing position--3 sets of ten reps each and the second was swinging ones' leg back in a standing position but off to the side at a forty-five degree angle--not straight back. 3 sets of ten reps also. I did not use any resistance as I am obese and I got great helpful results.
