At Solace Physiotherapy Clinic, we understand that urinary incontinence can manifest in various ways. It may occur frequently or infrequently, and the amount of urine loss can range from a few drops to a full bladder emptying. Incontinence can also be predictable or unpredictable, and may even occur only during the night.

Seeking treatment early can also prevent the progression of symptoms. 

Urinary incontinence is a common issue in Vancouver, affecting at least 1 in 4 women and 1 in 9 men.However, due to the stigma surrounding the topic, many individuals may not seek help or assume it is a normal part of aging. The causes of urinary incontinence can vary, from pelvic foor damage during pregnancy and childbirth to nerve damage from surgery or other medical conditions. Other factors, such as obesity, muscle weakness, diabetes, and smoking, can also contribute to the condition. It’s important to seek medical advice and treatment options like physiotherapy for Incontinence to improve quality of life.

HOW IS URINARY INCONTINENCE TREATED?

1. Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy (aka ‘Pelvic Health Physiotherapy’)

Solace Physiotherapy Clinic offers a range of treatments for incontinence, including pelvic floor physiotherapy. While Kegel exercises are often recommended as part of a treatment program, they may not be suitable for everyone and can even be counterproductive in some cases. That’s why our approach to Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy includes a personalized treatment plan that may include lifestyle interventions, pelvic floor muscle training, and hands-on therapy. Our goal is to improve or eliminate your symptoms, regardless of the underlying cause, whether it’s weakness, trauma, injury, Let us help you regain control and confidence in your daily life.

2. Medical Interventions for Incontinence

The first line of medical intervention for urinary incontinence that does not respond to pelvic floor rehabilitation is usually drug therapy (typically drugs that block the neurotransmitter acetylcholine), and for more difficult cases, surgical procedures are available that are either minimally invasive or invasive, depending on the underlying cause.

WHAT SHOULD I EXPECT AT MY FIRST APPOINTMENT?

At Solace Physiotherapy Clinic, our expert physiotherapist will conduct a thorough review of your medical history, including any specialist referrals, to help identify the root cause of your symptoms which would help in structuring the Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy treatment.

A physical examination will be performed to further aid in diagnosis. Our team will then provide you with a detailed explanation of their findings and educate you on the various treatment options available to you. In most cases, your initial assessment will also include an initial treatment session to help get you on the path to recovery.
