Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy for Urinary Leakage/Incontinence
Urinary incontinence and leakage are common pelvic floor concerns women seek help for. Bladder leakage is common—but it’s not something you have to live with. Pelvic floor physical therapy helps address the underlying causes of leakage (aka incontinence) so you can move, exercise, and live with more confidence.
Is this you?
Urinary Incontinence can show up in different ways. You might:
Leak urine when running, jumping, coughing, or sneezing
Feel sudden urgency & worry you won’t make it to the bathroom
Notice leakage during workouts or daily activities
Experience symptoms that started during or after pregnancy
Avoid exercise, travel, or social plans because of bladder concerns
If any of this sounds familiar, pelvic floor physical therapy may help.
Why incontinence happens
Bladder leakage is often related to how the pelvic floor muscles are functioning—not just strength, but timing, coordination, and support. These muscles work together with your core and breathing system to manage pressure during movement.
When that system isn’t working efficiently—often after pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, or repetitive impact—leakage can occur.
Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on restoring control and coordination, not just “doing more Kegels.”
How pelvic floor physical therapy helps
Pelvic floor PT for incontinence may include:
One-on-one assessment of pelvic floor, hips, core, and breathing
Education on pressure management during exercise & daily movement
Strengthening or relaxation work based on your specific needs
Manual therapy as appropriate (always discussed first)
Gradual return to impact activities like running or jumping
Treatment is individualized and designed to support your goals—not restrict your activity.

Common questions
Do I need a referral?
No. You can book directly without a physician referral.
Are Kegels always part of treatment?
Not always. Some people need strengthening, others need better coordination or relaxation. Your plan is based on what your body actually needs.
How long does it take to see improvement?
Every person is different, but many patients notice improvements within a few sessions as coordination and control improve.
Can pelvic floor PT help urinary leakage without Kegels?
Many people assume Kegels are the only treatment, but PT offers broader strategies like coordination, breathing, pressure management, and individualized plans.
