Leaking Is Common, but It Is Not Something You Have to Accept
Stress incontinence is urine leakage that happens when pressure rises in the abdomen, such as during coughing, laughing, jumping, running, or lifting. It is common after pregnancy and at many other stages of life, but common does not mean you have to live with it.
The pelvic floor is part of a larger pressure-management system that includes your diaphragm, abdominal wall, hips, and breathing patterns. Symptoms can appear when that system is not coordinating well or is carrying more tension than it can manage.
Pelvic Health Physical Therapy Takes a Whole-Body View
A private pelvic health evaluation can help identify the factors behind leakage and create a plan that fits your goals. Treatment is never a one-size-fits-all list of exercises. It may include breathing and pressure strategies, pelvic floor coordination, hip and core work, movement retraining, and a gradual return to impact activity.
- Understand the movements and daily situations that trigger symptoms.
- Improve pelvic floor coordination instead of only focusing on squeezing harder.
- Build confidence for lifting, exercise, running, and everyday life.
