Interventions

BEHAVIORALGroup preoperative pelvic floor training

Patients will receive PFT from a trained physical therapist delivered in a group setting of 8-10 people. The investigators allow patients in the PFT group to attend group classes as many times as they want prior to surgery to see if the frequency of training has an effect on outcomes. The treatment group could be required to go to at least 1 group class 4 weeks prior to their procedure, but they could be welcome to attend more if they want further practice and review of the material. A 45-minute group class with basic PFT guidelines could be presented weekly during the study.
