Bladder control issues can happen for a few reasons:

STRESS INCONTINENCE - releases urine during activity (like running, dancing, coughing, laughing, etc). Do you cross your legs to sneeze or laugh?

URGE INCONTINENCE - releases urine after a sudden uncontrollable urge to go. Do you dash to the toilet?

FREQUENCY- when your bladder signals that it needs to be emptied regardless of the amount of urine in the bladder. This can also happen at night, disrupting your sleep, which is called Nocturia.

As a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist, Sarah can give you the tools to address the pelvic floor, preventing accidental urine release as well as the frequency to which you go.
