Bladder health
Urinary Leakage Treatment
Leaking is common — but it is not normal, and it is not something you have to live with. Pelvic floor physical therapy is the first-line treatment for urinary leakage and works for the vast majority of women.
Symptoms
What urinary leakage can feel like.
- Leaking with cough, sneeze, laugh, or run (stress incontinence)
- Sudden, strong urge to pee that's hard to hold (urge incontinence)
- Going to the bathroom more than every 2–3 hours
- Waking up multiple times at night to pee
- Leaking on the way to the bathroom
- A combination of any of the above (mixed incontinence)
Why it happens
Common causes & contributors.
- Pelvic floor muscles that are weak, tight, uncoordinated — or some combination.
- Poor pressure management during exertion (breath holding, bracing).
- Hormonal changes around pregnancy, postpartum, and peri/menopause.
- Bladder habits like 'just-in-case' peeing that train the bladder to signal too often.
- Past pelvic surgery, prolapse, or chronic constipation.
How we treat it
Pelvic floor PT for urinary leakage.
01
Assess the why
Stress and urge leakage need different treatment approaches. We figure out which you have and why — then build a plan around it.
02
Train the system
Strengthening, lengthening, breath, and bladder retraining — whatever your specific pelvic floor and bladder need.
03
Test under load
We progress to running, jumping, and lifting so leaks don't return when you go back to real life.
