Interventions
WeB
Participants will be given WeB devices and trained on the use of these devices for home therapy, including the associated mobile applications. Participants will be given home programs and given a schedule to use the WeB devices at home on their own time. At their standard visit participants will have their WeB device use checked and progressed as the therapist deems appropriate. An in-person visit will be scheduled to re-evaluated participants at the 12 week study completion.
Standard pelvic floor physical therapy
Baseline will consist of a standard PFPT evaluation. Regular visits (tele-video visits or in-person depending on the patients preference) will be scheduled every week for the first 4 weeks and then every other week at the discretion of the therapist. A total of 8-10 visits will be scheduled over the 12 weeks of the study. Participants will be given home exercise programs (as per standard PFPT). An in-person visit will be scheduled to re-evaluated participants at the 12 week study completion.
