How Incontinence Physio Can Help You
We do pelvic floor therapy to strengthen the muscles that support the urethra, bladder, and rectum. Kegels are another term for pelvic floor exercises. Incontinence physiotherapy also involves bladder and bowel training, which optimises bladder capacity and control, and normalises bowel function and evacuation.
Weakness of or damage to the anal sphincter muscle and/or pelvic floor, plus neurological changes in the peripheral or central nervous system, may cause faecal incontinence. Research has shown that we can prevent these problems by improving anal sensation, building endurance, and reinvigorating the supporting muscles.
Discuss your incontinence physiotherapy options with us, find out about the techniques we employ to improve your situation and let us show you how to do the appropriate exercises correctly for optimum results.
