Stress Incontinence
Are You Struggling with Incontinence in The Warrington, Cheshire Area?
A Message from Our Women’s Health Department at Stockton Heath Physiotherapy & Wellness,
- Are you worried about urinary incontinence or urgency that doesn’t go away no matter how many exercises you’ve tried?
- Are you frustrated that you can’t work out like you want to (or need to for your own sanity!)
- Are you worried that you can’t keep up with your family and are missing out on life due to the fear of leaking?
- Do you have to cross your legs when you sneeze, laugh or cough?
- Do you sometimes have to change your underwear or clothes because of accidents, or do you wear pads “just in case”?
- Are you still looking for a long-term fix so you can get back to the gym and do the activities that you love?
If you answered “Yes” to any of these questions, you are in the right place
- “Just Rest and it’ll be fine” (then months later you’re still having accidents.…)
- Letting a little bit of wee out is “normal” and it “just happens when you get older or after having children”.
- “Just give up running” or “don’t jump” or “cross your legs”.
- If you wear pads you won’t have to worry about it.
- Surgery is the only option.
The Truth Is...
- Resting doesn’t change anything! You might get a small temporary relief, but then when you get active again you are always looking for the nearest bathroom or worse have accidental leaks.
- It’s common, but NOT normal, to experience incontinence after having a baby or as you get older…
- You don’t have to just live with it for the rest of your life.... nor is it realistic for you to NEVER go out, avoid coffee catch ups or rely on pads!
- Surgery is not the only option (nor is it the FIRST thing you should try).
At Stockton Heath Physiotherapy & Wellness We Help Women Overcome Pelvic Floor Issues, So They Can Be Active and Pain Free Again, Regardless of How Long It's Been
- A family member tells you to stop drinking as much water and wear pads.
- The YouTube or Instagram Influencer recommends doing Kegels.
- A friend suggests going to a legs, bums, and tums class.
- Or your GP tells you to rest and start thinking about surgery
When there is so much choice it can become overwhelming to make a decision.
In all honesty most women get stuck in inertia. Then days and months go by without taking any action hoping that one day the Incontinence will just fix itself.
What can you expect from our Women’s Health Team at Stockton Heath Physio?
# WE LISTEN TO YOU:
The NHS can be frustrating, long waiting times and when you do get seen you often feel like the appointment was rushed or you left with unanswered questions.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with lots of women with Stress Incontinence, we know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of leaking or urgency.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
# WE SET A CLEAR ACTION
This is when the big transformations occur. We develop a personalised action plan that allows you to…
- Get back to coughing, sneezing, laughing with your friends and being active without relying on pads.
- Be able to play with your kids and get back to your workouts and lifting things at home and at the gym, without worry.
- Get you active lifestyle back that you loved without fear and anxiety of accidents or leaks.
