Regain Confidence and Control with Bowel and Bladder Incontinence Physical Therapy in Edmonton

At Rutherford Physiotherapy, we understand that bowel and bladder incontinence can impact daily life and confidence. Our physical therapy approach focuses on improving pelvic floor muscle control, coordination, and functional movement to support bladder and bowel health. We work closely with you to create an individualized treatment plan designed around your symptoms, goals, and comfort, helping you regain control and confidence in everyday activities.

What Is Bowel and Bladder Incontinence?

Bowel and bladder incontinence is a medical condition characterized by involuntary leakage or lack of control over bowel movements or urination. It includes various symptoms such as urinary urgency, frequent urination, fecal leakage, or difficulty passing stools. All of these issues create discomfort, embarrassment, and social withdrawal from life.
Common causes for this condition are pelvic floor dysfunction, aging, childbirth, hormonal changes, surgical procedures, and neurological conditions, which include multiple sclerosis and spinal cord injury.
In many cases, constipation or even dietary habits would exacerbate these symptoms. Identifying the etiology would lead to appropriate treatment in this case; however, as a practical solution, Bowel and bladder incontinence physical therapy in Edmonton could help most patients regain control and improve their quality of life.

How Can Physical Therapy Help?

Bowel and bladder incontinence physical therapy in Edmonton is a noninvasive, empowering way to manage incontinence. By enhancing pelvic floor muscle strength and coordination and addressing underlying issues, we help restore control and functionality. We aim to empower you with the tools and strategies you need for long-term success.

Our Approach to Bowel and Bladder Incontinence Physical Therapy

Your recovery journey begins with a thorough pelvic health assessment, medical history, and current symptoms. Understanding your needs allows us to structure a customized treatment plan that fits perfectly with your goals and helps you achieve the best outcomes. Your journey starts here!

Pelvic Floor Muscle Training

Strengthening and retraining the pelvic floor muscles are key components of incontinence therapy. Through pelvic floor physiotherapy, our therapists help you regain control and stability in the pelvic region using guided exercises.

Bio feedback Training

This technique utilizes real-time feedback tools to monitor muscle activity. It helps learn to engage the correct muscles appropriately for better progress.

Bladder and Bowel Retraining

This emphasizes proper timing and control of the process of elimination. This involves structured techniques and habits to reduce urgency and frequency while improving confidence.

Lifestyle and Behavioural Changes

Diet, Hydration, and Daily Habits Influence Pelvic Well-being. Lifestyle and behavioural change recommendations will be provided to enhance recovery and protect against future potential problems.

Management of pain-related symptoms

For those presenting with pain-related symptoms, appropriate techniques to assist in symptom control are integrated alongside the treatment aimed at the pathology.

Who Can Benefit From This Therapy?

Our physical therapy program is designed to help individuals who suffer from multiple pelvic health conditions, including the following:

Our Rehabilitation Environment

Urinary Incontinence: Stress, urge, or mixed incontinence that interferes with daily activities and confidence.
Fecal Incontinence: The loss of control over bowel movements results in involuntary leakage.
Constipation: Chronic or occasional difficulty with bowel movements, including incomplete evacuation.
Overactive Bladder: Frequent, sudden urges to urinate, often interfering with daily life.
Pelvic Organ Prolapse: Feeling of discomfort or pressure from lax pelvic structures.
Postpartum Pelvic Concerns: Any issues following birth, including postpartum pain in the perineum and weakened pelvic floor muscles.
Pelvic Dysfunction following surgery: Any post-hysterectomy or post-prostatectomy rehabilitation for recovering functionality.
Pelvic Pain Syndromes: Symptoms of vulvodynia, vaginismus, and other chronic pain syndromes.
Diastasis Recti: Abdominal muscle diastasis—the separation of muscles often experienced by women postpartum—affecting stability within the core region.
