Great info -- thanks. As a physical therapist I believe strongly in exercise as one of the first courses of treatment. Pelvic Floor rehab is a relatively new area of physical therapy but already many women, myself included, have benefited from a structured rehab protocol. Kegels are one very important piece of the regimen but women must also work the coordinating muscles. Also, the PT rule of thumb is that you will need to do the exercises 3x per week for 6 weeks to regain strength in any muscle. This also holds true for the pelvic floor. More info on the exercises can be found at www.hab-it.com or email me to discuss further.
