100 patients with mild to moderate urinary incontinence will be randomly divided into two groups. One half will receive functional magnetic stimulation with the Tesla Chair for three months, while the other half will be treated with pelvic floor physiotherapy for the same period. After three and six months, a comparison will be made to determine which patient groups experience an improvement in urinary incontinence and how their muscle strength improves.
