Pelvic Floor Physio for Urinary Incontinence in Edmonton
What is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence refers to the involuntary leakage of urine. It can range from occasional leaks during activities like coughing or exercise (stress incontinence), to a sudden, urgent need to go (urge incontinence), or even a mix of both.
How Can Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Help Treat Urinary Incontinence?
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that supports your bladder, uterus, and rectum. When these muscles are weak, tight, or uncoordinated, they can contribute to incontinence.
Our pelvic floor physiotherapists can assess your muscle function and provide a personalized treatment plan, which may include:​
-
Guided and individualized pelvic floor exercises (Kegels) to improve muscle strength, relaxation, endurance, speed and control
-
Bladder retraining to reduce urgency and frequency
-
Education on posture, breathing, and body mechanics to support pelvic health
-
Lifestyle strategies, such as fluid and dietary modifications​
-
Some of the pelvic floor physiotherapists at Shift have special training to fit vaginal pessaries to help with symptoms of stress urinary incontinence
Whether you are postpartum, peri-menopausal, recovering from surgery, or just noticing changes over time, our team is here to help you take back control, without relying on pads or worrying about leaks.
