Urinary Incontinence Treatment
Urinary incontinence during pregnancy can be distressing, but it is both common and treatable. At Calyx, we offer evidence-based pelvic health physiotherapy that empowers you to regain control, confidence, and comfort. Our tailored care will meet you exactly where you are on your journey.
What Is Urinary Incontinence Treatment?
Urinary incontinence refers to any involuntary leakage of urine. Treatment at Calyx focuses on restoring pelvic floor function, improving bladder control and addressing underlying muscle imbalances through physiotherapy techniques..
Is This Safe for Me?
Yes. Our treatments are safe and gentle for all stages of pregnancy. Each plan is adapted to your specific condition, ensuring it is appropriate for your current trimester.
Who Should Consider Urinary Incontinence Treatment?
If you are pregnant and notice urine leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or during exercise, you may benefit from treatment. Early physiotherapy can prevent symptoms from worsening and help you return to daily activities with confidence.
-
Do I Need a Referral?
No referral is needed. You can book directly with us. If needed, we’re happy to coordinate care with your OBGYN or GP.
-
Is it still worth getting treatment if the leaking is mild?
Yes. Even mild leakage is a sign that your pelvic floor may need support. Small leaks often indicate early weakness, poor coordination, or increased pressure on the bladder. Addressing it early can prevent symptoms from getting worse over time.
Symptoms and Signs You May Benefit from Urinary Incontinence Treatment
Common signs include:
- Leaking urine when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising
- A sudden, urgent need to go to the toilet that’s hard to control
- Frequent toilet trips, even when the bladder isn’t full
These symptoms may be linked to pelvic floor dysfunction, reduced bladder control or changes in bladder function during pregnancy.
What Happens During Your Session
We begin with a detailed intake to understand your history, goals, and symptoms. Each session is tailored and focused on education, assessment, and gentle guided treatment.
-
Will There Be an Internal Assessment?
Only if you’re comfortable. Internal pelvic floor examinations help assess the muscles directly but are always optional and explained in full before proceeding.
-
Do I Need to Prepare or Bring Anything?
Wear comfortable clothing. If you have any medical reports related to your pregnancy or pelvic health, feel free to bring them along. They help us better understand your condition and personalise your care.
-
What Happens After the Session?
We provide a personalised plan including home exercises, lifestyle adjustments, and review timelines. Follow-ups are scheduled based on your progress and goals.
Techniques and Tools We May Use
- Manual therapy
- Bladder retraining
- Bladder diary analysis
- Pelvic floor muscle retraining
- Real-time ultrasound for pelvic floor biofeedback
- Lifestyle modifications for symptoms management
-
Is It Painful or Uncomfortable?
No. Most clients find treatment comfortable and even relieving. We go at your pace and adapt based on your feedback.
-
How We Ensure Safety in Each Method
Every tool and technique is backed by medical research and applied only when appropriate for your current condition, trimester, or recovery stage.
Your Progress and Results Over Time
-
How Soon Will I See Improvement?
Improvement depends on the severity, chronicity, and underlying causes of your symptoms. Your physiotherapist will work closely with you to set realistic expectations and guide you through each step of your recovery.
-
How Often Will I Need Sessions?
The frequency of sessions depends on several factors, including your symptoms, goals, medical history, lifestyle demands, and how your body responds to treatment.
Your physiotherapist will first complete a thorough assessment to understand your condition fully before recommending a personalised treatment plan.
-
Will I Need Maintenance Visits?
Yes, especially as your pregnancy progresses and your body continues to change. After your initial recovery, ongoing support can make a big difference. You may benefit from one-to-one preventive check-ins or by enrolling in Rooted for Birth, our signature programme designed to keep you strong, mobile, and well-prepared for pregnancy and childbirth.

What Do I Need to Do at Home?
We’ll guide you through daily pelvic floor exercises, bladder training habits and ergonomic adjustments that reinforce progress.
