Urinary Incontinence Treatment
Urinary incontinence after 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 and comfort. Whether your symptoms are mild or disruptive, you do not need to accept them as your new normal. If you are pregnant and looking for urinary incontinence treatment during pregnancy: click here.
What Is Urinary Incontinence Treatment?
Urinary incontinence treatment helps reduce leakage by restoring pelvic floor function, improving bladder control and addressing underlying muscle imbalances. Physiotherapy is evidence based, non-invasive and tailored to your specific type, such as stress, urge, overflow or mixed incontinence.
Is This Safe for Me?
Yes. Our treatments are safe and appropriate for all stages of motherhood. Your sessions are guided by trained and experienced women’s health physiotherapists.
Who Should Consider Urinary Incontinence Treatment?
If you’re experiencing leaks when you laugh, cough, sneeze, or exercise, or feel an urgent need to go, our treatment can help. Early intervention leads to quicker and more lasting results.
-
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.
-
How soon after birth can I start physiotherapy for incontinence?
You can start gentle pelvic floor physiotherapy as early as 2 weeks postpartum. Early intervention helps restore function and prevent long-term issues.
Symptoms and Signs You May Benefit from Urinary Incontinence Treatment
Common signs include:
- Leaking urine during coughing, sneezing, or exercise
- Feeling a sudden, intense urge to urinate
- Difficulty fully emptying the bladder
- Leaks without awareness or sensation
These symptoms may be linked to pelvic floor dysfunction, reduced bladder control or changes in bladder function after 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 guided treatment.
-
Will There Be an Internal Assessment?
If appropriate, and only with your consent, an internal pelvic floor assessment may be offered. This helps us assess muscle tone, control and coordination.

Do I Need to Prepare or Bring Anything?
Please come in comfortable clothing. You may bring your maternity notes if relevant.

What Happens After the Session?
You will receive a personalised plan including exercises, education and behavioural strategies. Follow-ups are scheduled based on your progress and goals.

Is It Painful or Uncomfortable?

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?
After early recovery, continued support can help you regain strength and confidence as you care for your baby and step into your new (or expanded) role as a mum. You may benefit from one-to-one check-ins or join Regrounded After Birth, our signature programme designed to support healing, movement, and a safe return to daily life and higher-level exercise.

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.
