Has anyone tried therapy prior to RARP to prepare for incontinence

Buy this book off of Amazon and follow the instructions: Life After Prostate Cancer by Vanita Gaglani. She is an experienced pelvic floor PT and has treated thousands of men for incontinence. I have found her book to be invaluable. She gives pre op instructions and the 10 weeks post op to achieve continence. Kegels are only a small part of regaining continence. Diet, core exercises, pad usage etc are critical as well. The book was recommended to me by my urologist 4 years ago prior to surgery.

That is an EXCELLENT book! I bought that for my husband prior to his surgery. I would also check out some of her YouTube videos. She has a lot of good advice. I keep referring to her book on my husband's journey to get totally dry! And I agree, diet, core exercises, pad usage IS critical along with the kegels. My husband has incorporated daily core exercises into his routine. I wish I could get him to stop eating red meat because I think it would help him but that is the one thing that I cannot accomplish.
