One of the most common symptoms associated with pelvic health issues or pelvic floor disorders is urinary incontinence. This term refers to any involuntary loss of urine, whether it’s just a small amount, a moderate amount, or a larger, more embarrassing amount.
Urinary incontinence can affect women across all stages of life. Young athletes, for example, may also experience it. Once women have had children, it’s not uncommon to hear a sister or friend mention that they’re no longer able to go for a run or jump on a trampoline with their kids without fear of leakage or needing to wear a liner.
For some, these issues can arise while out and about, leading to the frequent use of liners or pads as a precaution. Over time, this adds an ongoing expense that many women feel they have no choice but to bear.
If you’ve been dealing with incontinence, you’re not alone – but you may be wondering why nothing you’ve tried has worked. Perhaps you’ve followed advice to do more Kegels, invested in liners or pads, or even made lifestyle adjustments to avoid activities that trigger leakage. The truth is, incontinence isn’t always a simple issue, and one-size-fits-all solutions often fall short.
For many, the problem lies in an incomplete understanding of what’s causing the leakage. It’s a common misconception that incontinence is purely due to weak pelvic floor muscles. In reality, some cases are caused by overactive pelvic floor muscles that need to relax before they can function properly. Without an accurate assessment from a pelvic health professional, it’s easy to focus on the wrong exercises or approaches, which can actually worsen the issue.
Ignoring incontinence or relying on temporary fixes, such as pads or liners, can have serious consequences. Over time, untreated incontinence can lead to feelings of embarrassment, social isolation, and reduced confidence in daily activities. It can also contribute to a sedentary lifestyle, limiting your ability to stay active and healthy.
The good news? Incontinence is highly treatable with the right guidance. At Vital Life Physical Therapy, we can pinpoint the exact cause of your leakage and create a customized treatment plan to address the underlying issues. You don’t have to live with the frustration or expense of ineffective solutions – help is available.
At Vital Life Physical Therapy, I focus on helping women regain control, confidence, and freedom from the frustration of incontinence. My approach is thorough, personalized, and designed to address the root cause of your symptoms – not just mask them.
Here’s how I can help you:
I take the time to understand your unique situation by assessing the strength, tone, and coordination of your pelvic floor muscles. During your first visit, we’ll also discuss your medical history, lifestyle, and specific concerns to uncover the factors contributing to your incontinence.
Based on what we discover together, I’ll create a plan tailored just for you. This may include:
· Pelvic floor exercises to strengthen weak muscles or relax overactive ones.
· Gentle manual therapy to improve mobility in the pelvic region.
· Core and hip strengthening exercises to support your pelvic floor.
· Practical tips to address bladder habits, posture, and other triggers.
At Vital Life, I work closely with you during every session. You’ll learn how to connect with and properly engage your pelvic floor muscles, as well as how to make small changes in your daily life that can lead to big improvements.
I’m here to guide you every step of the way. Even after your symptoms improve, I offer continued care to keep you on track. Whether it’s refining your home exercises or addressing a flare-up, you’ll always have a partner in your healing journey.
You don’t have to live with the discomfort, embarrassment, or limitations caused by incontinence. Together, we can take steps toward lasting relief and a more confident, active life.
