Urinary Urge or Frequency

Urge incontinence occurs when you feel a sudden, intense urge to urinate, but are unable to hold it, leading to leakage. This happens when the bladder contracts or spasms involuntarily, often causing large amounts of urine loss. Many people with urge incontinence find themselves planning outings around restroom availability or carrying extra clothing to avoid accidents. Common triggers include putting the key in the door, hearing running water, or feeling cold temperatures.

Common causes of urge incontinence include overactive bladder (OAB), pelvic floor dysfunction, nerve irritation, hormonal changes, or post-surgical complications. While this condition can be frustrating, pelvic floor physical therapy is a proven, non-invasive solution to help retrain the bladder and improve muscle coordination.

At Built to Move Physical Therapy and Wellness, we use bladder retraining techniques, biofeedback, pelvic floor exercises, and relaxation strategies to help you regain control, reduce urgency, and prevent leakage.
