Urinary Incontinence/Overactive Bladder
Urinary incontinence and overactive bladder can be frustrating and embarrassing conditions that can significantly impact a person's quality of life. While these issues can affect anyone, they are more common among women, particularly those who have given birth, gone through menopause, or are aging.
Fortunately, there is a solution to these problems that doesn't involve surgery or medication: pelvic floor physiotherapy. This type of physiotherapy targets the muscles in the pelvic floor that support the bladder and bowel, and can help alleviate the symptoms of urinary incontinence and overactive bladder.
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, and it can be caused by a number of factors, including weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage, and certain medical conditions. Overactive bladder, on the other hand, is characterized by a sudden and frequent urge to urinate, often resulting in leakage or the need to rush to the bathroom.
​
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a non-invasive, effective way to address these issues. A trained physiotherapist will work with you to identify the specific muscles in your pelvic floor that need strengthening or relaxation. This may involve exercises to strengthen the muscles, as well as relaxation techniques to help ease tension in the pelvic floor. In some cases, biofeedback may also be used to help you become more aware of your pelvic floor muscles and how to use them effectively.
​
One of the benefits of pelvic floor physiotherapy is that it can be tailored to the specific needs of each individual. Whether you are dealing with urinary incontinence or overactive bladder, a physiotherapist can work with you to develop a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique situation. This may involve one-on-one sessions with a physiotherapist, as well as exercises and techniques that you can do at home.
​
If you are dealing with urinary incontinence or overactive bladder, don't suffer in silence. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help you get back to the activities you enjoy, without the worry of leaks or constant trips to the bathroom. Don't let these conditions hold you back any longer – schedule a consultation with a physiotherapist today and take the first step towards regaining control of your bladder.
