9.2. PRESET PROGRAMMES

The itouch sure
programmes. One for each type of
incontinence (stress, urge and mixed),
and one aftercare programme for
toning the pelvic floor muscles (TONE).
STRESS INCONTINENCE:
Shown on the screen as: STRES
The STRES incontinence programme
strengthens the muscles of the pelvic
floor using gentle stimulation. Once
these muscles are stronger they are
m
better able to resist urinary leakage
caused by external pressure being
m
applied to the bladder such as with a
cough, sneeze or physical exertion.
The stimulation causes the muscles to
contract and work. This builds their
strength. Like other fitness training,

stimulation once a day for one to three
months. Improvement starts becoming
apparent after about four weeks.
The sensation is like a strong drawing
in of the muscles of the vagina, pulling
up the pelvic floor. Your natural reaction
will be to pull your muscles in and up,
and this exercises and strengthens
them.
URGE INCONTINENCE:
Shown on the screen as: URGE
The URGE programme works in a
different way to
programme. The gentle continuous
m
stimulation soothes
(detrusor) muscle,
i
involuntary contractions. This prevents
the unwanted and
n
emptying of the bladder.

stimulation once
improvements can sometimes be seen
in as little as two weeks.
The sensation is a softer, vibrating,
stimulation. Nevertheless, when the
programme finishes, and your pelvic
floor relaxes, it will become apparent
how much your pelvic floor has been
exercised.
MIXED INCONTINENCE:
Shown on the screen as: MIXED
This programme is perfect if you are
suffering from both Stress and Urge
incontinence. It is a combination of the
STRES and URGE programmes.
The first 10 minutes uses the URGE
programme to reduce sensitivity, then
