Physiotherapy for Bladder Problems and Incontinence in Worthing

Bladder problems are common, but leaking urine, needing to rush to the toilet or going to the toilet frequently can have a real impact on everyday life. You may find yourself changing how you exercise, avoiding certain activities or constantly thinking about where the nearest toilet is.

There are different types of bladder symptoms and they can have different contributing factors. Incontinence can occur when coughing, sneezing, running or exercising, while some people experience urgency or frequency without leaking. Pregnancy, childbirth, hormonal changes, pelvic floor function and other physical factors can all play a role.

A pelvic health assessment allows us to understand what is happening rather than simply assuming that you need to “strengthen your pelvic floor”. We pride ourselves on being thorough and giving people the clarity that they need to manage their condition.

Your treatment plan will depend on your individual symptoms. This may include pelvic floor exercises, bladder training, breathing and pressure management, lifestyle advice and gradually building your ability to tolerate activities that currently bring on your symptoms. The aim is to help you feel more confident and get back to doing the things you enjoy.
