Incontinence Problems
Compassionate, non-surgical physiotherapy to help restore bladder, bowel, and sexual function.
A Personalized Path to Better Pelvic Health
Physiotherapy for incontinence is a highly effective, non-surgical treatment. It focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue of the pelvic floor and surrounding areas to restore bladder, bowel, and sexual function.
At Primus Physiotherapy, treatment begins with understanding your individual concerns and goals. Your care plan can address different types of incontinence, including stress, urge, and mixed incontinence, while helping you build practical skills for lasting improvement.
What to Expect From Treatment
Care is customized and comprehensive, with active guidance at every stage.
1
A Confidential Evaluation
Your first visit is a thorough assessment designed to understand your specific type of incontinence and the underlying factors. This evaluation helps your therapist get to the root cause of your concerns.
2
A Customized Plan
Your plan may combine exercises, hands-on therapy, and behavioural changes. Treatment commonly includes weekly sessions over several months, tailored to your needs and progress.
3
Active, Guided Care
Sessions include practicing exercises, movement, and body awareness with your therapist. You will also receive education about posture, body mechanics, bathroom habits, and bladder irritants such as caffeine or carbonated drinks.
Consistency Supports Long-Term Results
Your home exercise program matters. You will be given a specific home exercise program (HEP). Consistency with your HEP and behavioural changes, including fluid and diet modifications, is critical for long-term success.
While every individual is different, many patients begin noticing improvement in symptoms within 4 to 6 weeks. A full course of therapy for maximum, lasting improvement typically runs for several months.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is an evidence-based treatment that can reduce or eliminate the need for pads, medication, or surgery for many forms of incontinence.
