Regain Control. Restore Confidence. Feel Like Yourself Again.
Urinary leakage is common but it is not something you have to live with.
At Infinity Physical Therapy, we provide specialized pelvic floor physical therapy to treat urinary incontinence at its source. Whether you experience occasional leakage with exercise or frequent urgency that disrupts your day, our goal is simple: help you regain control safely, naturally, and without medication or surgery.
What Is Urinary Incontinence?
Urinary incontinence is the loss of bladder control that leads to leakage. It can range from small drips to a complete inability to hold urine.
It is especially common in:
- Women during or after pregnancy
- Postpartum mothers
- Women going through menopause
- Individuals after pelvic surgery
- Men following prostate procedures
- Anyone experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction
While common, incontinence is treatable, and pelvic floor physical therapy is one of the most effective first-line solutions.
Types of Urinary Incontinence We Treat
Stress Urinary Incontinence
Leakage that occurs with:
- Coughing
- Sneezing
- Laughing
- Jumping
- Running
- Lifting
This type is typically related to weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Urge Urinary Incontinence
A sudden, strong urge to urinate followed by leakage. You may feel like you “can’t make it to the bathroom in time.”
This type is often related to bladder overactivity or coordination issues.
Mixed Incontinence
A combination of stress and urge symptoms.
Postpartum Incontinence
Bladder leakage after pregnancy or delivery due to pelvic floor strain.
Many patients we see for pelvic pain also experience bladder symptoms — the two conditions frequently overlap.
How Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Helps
Your pelvic floor muscles act like a supportive sling for your bladder. If they are weak, tight, poorly coordinated, or overactive, bladder control can be affected.
Our treatment focuses on:
- Pelvic floor muscle strengthening
- Muscle relaxation training (when tightness is present)
- Bladder retraining
- Urge suppression strategies
- Core and hip stabilization
- Postural correction
- Breathing mechanics
- Education on lifestyle triggers
Treatment is individualized. No two cases are the same.
Signs You May Benefit from Physical Therapy
- You wear liners “just in case”
- You avoid exercise due to leakage
- You urinate more than 8 times per day
- You wake up frequently at night to urinate
- You feel pelvic heaviness or pressure
- You rush to the bathroom and sometimes don’t make it
- You leak during workouts
- If any of these sound familiar, you are not alone. These are common but completely treatable.

The Connection Between Pelvic Pain & Bladder Symptoms

If you are experiencing both, you may benefit from exploring our Pelvic Pain Physical Therapy services as well.
