About this trial

The aim of this clinical trial is to assess the effectiveness of a 4-week video-based education program in enhancing urinary continence among women with urinary incontinence referred for pelvic floor rehabilitation

The main question it aims to answer is :

• Does a structured video-based education program reduce the symptoms of urinary incontinence before any pelvic floor muscle strengthening ? Researchers will compare this program to a paper document (providing similar information) to see if this improves urinary continence in women suffering from urinary incontinence.

Participants will :

* receive either the video-based education program or a paper information document (providing similar information) prior to the sessions with the physiotherapist * then follow pelvic floor rehabilitation sessions with the physiotherapist according to usual practice * complete the urinary incontinence questionnaire after the 4-week video education program (intervention group) or 4 weeks after receiving the paper document (control group), and after each pelvic floor rehabilitation session with the physiotherapist and at the end of the sessions * will be monitored at 1 and 2 years to evaluate urinary incontinence following the intervention.
