Behavioral treatments — such as pelvic floor muscle exercises, bladder control strategies, fluid management, etc. — are first-line therapy and are known to be effective. However, many veterans face barriers to accessing these treatments in person: geographic distance, lack of trained providers at VA facilities, travel time and cost.
