Effective Treatment for Urinary Incontinence in Norwich
Urinary incontinence is a common condition that affects both men and women.
It involves the involuntary leakage of urine and can range from occasional dribbling to more frequent, severe episodes.
Fortunately, physiotherapy offers an effective, non-surgical approach to managing and treating urinary incontinence.
Types of urinary incontinence
Stress Incontinence: Leaking urine when you cough, sneeze, or engage in physical activity.
Urge Incontinence: A sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by involuntary leakage.
Mixed Incontinence: A combination of both stress and urge incontinence.
Overflow Incontinence: Frequent or constant dribbling caused by the bladder not emptying completely.
Functional Incontinence: The inability to reach the bathroom in time due to physical or cognitive impairments, such as limited mobility or dementia.
Nocturnal Enuresis (Night-time Incontinence): Involuntary leakage of urine during sleep, often affecting children but can also impact adults. This may be linked to bladder overactivity or hormone imbalances.
Risk factors contribute to Urinary incontinence

Weak Pelvic Floor Muscles: Often due to childbirth, aging, or obesity.
Hormonal Changes: Menopause can lead to thinning of the urethra lining.
Infections: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) can cause temporary incontinence.
Neurological Disorders: Conditions like multiple sclerosis or Parkinson’s disease can disrupt nerve signals to the bladder.
Chronic Constipation: Straining during bowel movements can weaken pelvic floor muscles.
High-impact Activities: Repeated strain from activities like running or jumping can weaken the pelvic floor over time.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy for Urinary Incontinence: Your Path to Recovery
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is one of the most effective treatments for urinary incontinence, offering personalised, non-invasive strategies that target the root causes of bladder control issues for both women and men.
Ellie’s pelvic health physiotherapy approach includes:
Pelvic Floor Exercises: Strengthening the pelvic floor muscles to improve bladder control.
Lifestyle and Behavioural Changes: Addressing factors that may contribute to incontinence, such as fluid intake, diet, and activity levels.
Treatment for Nocturnal Enuresis: Addressing bladder overactivity, night-time fluid intake, and hormonal imbalances that may contribute to night-time leakage.
Bladder Training: Re-training the bladder to hold urine for longer periods, gradually increasing the time between bathroom visits.
Management for Functional Incontinence: Techniques to assist those with mobility or cognitive challenges in reaching the bathroom on time.
