Agape Physio can treat...

Bladder Dysfunction

Bladder dysfunction includes urinary incontinence and overactive bladder, impacting daily activities and quality of life. Symptoms include urgency and leakage. Our clinic offers specialised physiotherapy treatments including pelvic floor rehabilitation, bladder training, biofeedback therapy, manual therapy, diet and lifestyle advice, and education to manage symptoms and improve bladder health.

About this condition

Bladder dysfunction refers to a range of issues related to the urinary system, including urinary incontinence, overactive bladder, urinary retention, and difficulty in controlling urine flow. These problems can arise due to factors such as muscle weakness, nerve damage, hormonal changes, infections, or underlying medical conditions. Bladder dysfunction can significantly impact daily life, causing discomfort and distress.

What you may be feeling

If you have bladder dysfunction, you might experience symptoms such as a frequent and urgent need to urinate, leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise (stress incontinence), a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary leakage (urge incontinence), or difficulty emptying your bladder completely (urinary retention). These symptoms can lead to discomfort, embarrassment, and a decrease in quality of life, affecting your daily activities and social interactions.

How we can help you

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

We design personalised exercise programmes to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which play a key role in bladder control. These exercises, often known as Kegels, can help improve muscle coordination and support bladder function.

Bladder Training

We provide techniques to help you regain control over your bladder, such as scheduled voiding and strategies to delay the urge to urinate.

Biofeedback Therapy

We use biofeedback techniques to help you learn how to correctly engage your pelvic floor muscles, enhancing your control and strength.

Manual Therapy

Our physiotherapists may use hands-on techniques to relieve tension and improve mobility in the pelvic area, supporting better bladder function.

Diet and Lifestyle Advice

We offer guidance on dietary changes, fluid management, and lifestyle modifications to reduce bladder irritation and improve symptoms.

Education and Support

We educate you on the anatomy and function of the bladder and pelvic floor, empowering you with the knowledge and tools to manage your condition effectively.
