Why Am I Always Rushing to the Bathroom?Understanding Urgency Incontinence & How Pelvic Therapy Can Help

What Is Urgency Incontinence?

Urgency incontinence (sometimes part of “overactive bladder”) is the involuntary leakage of

urine associated with a sudden and intense urge to urinate. It can happen at any time:

while unlocking your front door, hearing running water, or even during a workout. Many people

feel embarrassed or confused by these symptoms, but this isn’t something you just have to “put

up with.”

Common Causes Include:

● Tight or overactive pelvic floor muscles

● Chronic bladder irritation

● Nerve or sensory dysfunction

● Hormonal changes (like during menopause or postpartum)

● Stress and anxiety

What Can Pelvic Therapy Do?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy targets the root cause, not just the symptoms. Through a tailored

assessment and one-on-one treatment, we can help:

✅ Retrain your bladder through urge suppression techniques

✅ Teach you how to relax or activate your pelvic floor muscles appropriately

✅ Improve coordination and awareness of your pelvic floor and core

✅ Identify triggers and modify habits (like fluid intake, posture, etc.)

✅ Support you with lifestyle and stress management tools

This isn’t just Kegels. In fact, if your pelvic floor is already overactive or tight, more

strengthening could actually worsen urgency. That’s why individualized assessment is key.
