Understanding Stress Incontinence
This occurs when the “internal pressure” of a cough, sneeze, or jump exceeds the strength of the pelvic floor muscles, causing a small leak of urine.
Common Symptoms
- Leaking when laughing, coughing, or sneezing.
- Leaking during high-impact exercise (running or jumping).
- Feeling the need to wear pads “just in case” during activity.
The Ashbourne Approach
Evidence shows that pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT) is highly effective. We teach you “The Knack”—a specific way to contract your pelvic floor just before you cough or lift. We progress your exercises from lying down to standing and eventually into functional movements like running, ensuring you are “leak-free” in all situations.
