Bladder & Bowel Incontinence 

For most people, bowel and bladder function happens naturally without much thought. However, when these processes are disrupted, they can become all-consuming challenges, significantly impacting daily life. Whether it’s difficulty emptying your bowels, chronic constipation, urinary leakage, or loss of bowel control, these symptoms can be distressing and often go unspoken.

We understand how deeply bowel and bladder incontinence can affect your physical, emotional, and social well-being. That’s why we offer expert physiotherapy care to help you regain control and confidence.

Understanding the Causes

Bowel and bladder dysfunction can arise from a variety of factors, including:

• Stress and poor dietary habits

• Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

• Chronic constipation or diarrhoea

• Pelvic trauma following childbirth or surgery

• Weakness or improper function of pelvic floor muscles

How Physiotherapy Can Help

Your pelvic floor muscles play a critical role in bowel and bladder function. They help maintain control, facilitate proper emptying, and ensure you stay dry. Issues such as muscle weakness, improper relaxation, or uncoordinated movement can all contribute to incontinence problems. Our specialist physiotherapy sessions focus on:

• Strengthening weak pelvic floor muscles to improve control and prevent leaks

• Relaxing overactive muscles to allow complete and pain-free emptying

• Re-educating muscle coordination to restore proper function

• Breathing techniques to support optimal muscle performance

1. Take a detailed history of your symptoms and concerns
