Understanding Bladder & Bowel Control
Urge incontinence is the sudden, overwhelming need to go to the toilet, often resulting in a leak before you get there. It is common, but it is not an inevitable part of ageing or motherhood.
Common Symptoms
- Needing to rush to the toilet frequently (frequency).
- Leaking when you hear running water or put your key in the front door.
- Waking up multiple times at night to use the bathroom.
The Ashbourne Approach
We use “bladder re-training” techniques to teach your bladder to hold more and be less sensitive. We also ensure your pelvic floor muscles are working correctly—sometimes they are too “tight” rather than too “weak,” and we help you find the right balance through specialised biofeedback and exercise.
