Incontinence Therapy

Regain Control, Prevent Embarrassment

Incontinence therapy is expert physical therapy involving pelvic floor rehabilitation to help you regain control of your bladder and bowel functions.

Using self-help exercises in conjunction with painless electrical biofeedback, our incontinence specialist can help you effectively use your pelvic floor muscles to regain bladder or bowel control.

What Is Incontinence?

Incontinence is the involuntary loss of bladder or bowel control. It causes urine leakage or the inability to predict bowel movement and affects 20 million people of all ages.

Types of Incontinence
  • Stress Incontinence - Involuntary release of a small amount of urine during physical activity or while laughing, coughing, or sneezing
  • Urge Incontinence - Involuntary loss of large amounts of urine through a sudden urge to void, often caused by an oversensitive bladder
  • Reflex Incontinence - The absence of bladder control because of impaired nerve function
  • Overflow Incontinence - The constant release of small amounts of urine because of a constantly filled bladder
  • Fecal Incontinence - An inopportune loss of feces because of impaired rectal sensation or lack of muscle control that can be caused by pelvic floor muscle spasms

What Causes Incontinence?

Incontinence is not a disease. It is a symptom of an underlying condition.

In many cases, weakness or overstretching of the pelvic floor muscles can cause incontinence.

Some of the conditions that may result in incontinence include:
  • Infection
  • Obesity
  • Pregnancy
  • Diabetes
  • Surgery
  • Multiple Sclerosis
Incontinence is unpredictable and can cause:
  • Embarrassment
  • Frustration
  • Depression
