since you have speech problm and urine incontinence in both muscle stimulation therapy wil work good along that you need to do few exercises
for Speech: roll your tongue inside mouth and rotate clockwise and anti-clockwise in whole mouth touching your both sides of inside cheeks
: put ice in ur mouth and rotate it in whole mouth
: try to speak out "om "word and vowels (a,e,i,o,u)
: speak slowly
: do deep breathing excercise like inhaling from nose and exhaling out from mouth be sure while exhaling your lips should be like as if you are whistling.
For urinary incontinence you need to do pelvic floor exercises mark it no breath control in this excercise
: lie straight on your back and squeeze your buttocks and hold for 10 counts and relax and repeat for 10 times. Initially you need to hold and relax rhythmically and slowly you will hold for 10 counts for 8-10 times and do 3 sets
: avoid drinking alcohol and smoking
: have good food in your diet
: reduce weight if you are heavy
: walk alot
