Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation

Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation at Winchester Hospital

Incontinence, also called stress or urge incontinence, is caused by weak pelvic floor muscles. This condition leads to a loss of bladder control. Incontinence can feel embarrassing, especially when a simply cough, laugh or sneeze triggers an episode.

Our experts can help you regain control of your body. Our therapists specialize in a form of therapy called pelvic floor rehabilitation, which can improve muscle strength and bladder control. In fact, an estimated 79% of people receiving pelvic floor muscle training improved enough to avoid surgery.

You can approach pelvic floor rehabilitation in many ways. We’ll help you understand what works best for you. Our physical therapists will evaluate you and help create a personalized treatment plan. Your plan may include:
