Incontinence

Incontinence involves involuntary urine leakage, affecting individuals of all ages. Types include stress, urge, and overflow incontinence, each causing embarrassment and impacting daily life. Our clinic provides specialised physiotherapy treatments such as pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, biofeedback, and lifestyle advice to manage and improve bladder control, enhancing overall quality of life.

About this condition

Incontinence is the involuntary leakage of urine, which can occur when there is a loss of bladder control. It is a common and often embarrassing problem that can affect individuals of all ages, though it is more prevalent among older adults. There are several types of incontinence, including stress incontinence (leakage during activities like coughing or exercising), urge incontinence (a sudden, intense urge to urinate followed by involuntary leakage), and overflow incontinence (frequent dribbling of urine due to a bladder that doesn’t empty completely).

What you may be feeling

If you are experiencing incontinence, you might notice symptoms such as frequent, urgent needs to urinate, leaking urine when you laugh, sneeze, cough, or exercise, and waking up multiple times at night to urinate. You might also feel constant dribbling of urine or a sensation that your bladder is never fully empty. These symptoms can lead to embarrassment, social withdrawal, and a significant impact on your quality of life.

How we can help you

Pelvic Floor Exercises

We design individualised exercise programs to strengthen the pelvic floor muscles, which play a key role in bladder control. These exercises, often called Kegels, can help reduce or eliminate incontinence symptoms.

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 and Electrical Stimulation

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

Lifestyle and Dietary Advice

We offer guidance on lifestyle changes, such as fluid and diet management, to reduce bladder irritation and improve symptoms.

Education and Support

We educate you on proper techniques for bladder management and provide ongoing support to help you stay motivated and on track with your treatment plan.
