Can pelvic floor therapy help with incontinence?

Yes. And If You’re Leaking, You’re Not Alone — or Stuck With It.

Let’s get straight to it:
If you pee a little when you laugh, sneeze, jump, lift, or run — that’s urinary incontinence.

And no, it’s not just “a normal part of aging” or something you have to accept after kids, surgery, or menopause.

Incontinence is common, yes.
But it’s also treatable — and pelvic floor therapy is one of the most effective, non-invasive ways to fix it.

What Is Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles, nerves, and connective tissue that supports your bladder, bowels, and reproductive organs. It’s also deeply connected to your core, breath, posture, and even stress response.

Pelvic floor therapy involves:

• Targeted exercises
• Manual techniques (internal + external)
• Breathing and pressure system retraining
• Education on habits, posture, and movement

At YFS (Your Form Sux), we treat the pelvic floor like any other muscle group — with science, strength, and strategy. No awkward vibes. No outdated advice. Just real solutions.

How Does It Help Incontinence?

There are a few types of incontinence:

• Stress incontinence: Leaks during coughing, sneezing, lifting, or movement
• Urge incontinence: Sudden, intense need to pee (even if your bladder isn’t full)
• Mixed incontinence: A combo of both
• Overflow incontinence: Frequent dribbling due to poor bladder emptying

Pelvic floor therapy can help by:

• ✅ Strengthening weak pelvic muscles
• ✅ Relaxing overly tight muscles (yes, that’s a thing too!)
• ✅ Improving bladder control and timing
• ✅ Correcting core-pelvic coordination
• ✅ Restoring nervous system regulation (because stress and anxiety can literally trigger leaks)

What Can You Expect from a Session at YFS?

We start with a full-body movement assessment — not just the pelvic floor.
Why? Because posture, breath, and hip mechanics all affect how your pelvic system works.

If you’re comfortable, we may also do:

• External or internal assessments
• Manual therapy (gentle, strategic)
• Breath + pressure retraining drills
• Personalized home exercises — no endless kegels

👉 We explain everything before we do anything. You’re always in control.

How Long Until You See Results?

Most clients see changes within a few sessions, especially when paired with consistent home practice.

The timeline depends on:

• How long you’ve had symptoms
• Whether it’s stress or urge-related
• Your daily habits and lifestyle factors

You don’t need a referral to start, and in many cases, it’s covered by insurance.

Final Word: Leaking Isn’t Normal — It’s Common. And Treatable.

You deserve to move, laugh, lift, run, and live without worrying about leaks.
And you don’t need surgery, pads, or shame to get there.

At YFS, we treat pelvic health like every other part of the body — with evidence, compassion, and a plan that actually works.
