Stress Urinary Incontinence Treatment in Cirencester - Regain Confidence, Control, and Comfort
Leaking When You Cough, Laugh, or Exercise?
If you notice urine leakage during everyday activities like coughing, sneezing, running, or lifting, you may be experiencing Stress Urinary Incontinence.
This is a common condition — but it’s not something you have to live with.
At Active Therapy Clinic, we combine hands-on physiotherapy with advanced technology — including our Pelvic Health Seat.
What Is Stress Urinary Incontinence?
Stress urinary incontinence occurs when pressure inside the abdomen increases and the pelvic floor muscles are not able to provide enough support.
This leads to leakage during activities such as:
-
Coughing or sneezing
-
Laughing
-
Running or jumping
-
Lifting or exercising
Why Does Stress Urinary Incontinence Happen?
Stress urinary incontinence is usually linked to reduced strength, coordination, or support of the pelvic floor.
Common contributing factors:
-
Pregnancy and childbirth
-
Hormonal changes (e.g. menopause)
-
High-impact exercise or sport
-
Chronic coughing or heavy lifting
-
Weak or poorly coordinated pelvic floor muscles
In many cases, it develops gradually over time.
Why Symptoms Often Don’t Improve on Their Own
Many people try:
-
Reducing activity
-
Wearing pads
-
Doing occasional pelvic floor exercises
But symptoms persist.
That’s because effective treatment requires:
-
Correct technique
-
Progressive strengthening
-
Coordination with breathing and movement
What Treatments Actually Work?
The most effective treatment for Stress Urinary Incontinence is targeted pelvic floor rehabilitation.
✔ Pelvic Floor Muscle Training
Improving strength, endurance, and control (kegels).
✔ Coordination Training
Learning how to activate muscles at the right time (e.g. before coughing or lifting).
✔ Core & Breathing Work
Integrating pelvic floor function with your core muscles.
✔ Load Management
Gradually returning to exercise safely.
Can You Fix Stress Urinary Incontinence?
In many cases, yes.
With the right approach, you can:
-
Reduce or eliminate leakage
-
Improve confidence during exercise
-
Return to running, gym, or daily activities
The key is individualised assessment and structured rehabilitation.
When Should You Get Help?
You should seek support if:
-
You experience leakage during activity
-
Symptoms are affecting your confidence or lifestyle
-
You’ve tried exercises but haven’t improved
-
You want to return to sport safely
Early treatment leads to better outcomes.
