Incontinence, particularly bladder leaks and urgency, is a common issue that many people experience, but it is often underreported. It occurs when the muscles and nerves responsible for controlling the bladder become weakened, overstretched or impaired, leading to a loss of control over urinary function. There are several factors that contribute to incontinence, with age being a significant one. As we age, the bladder’s ability to store urine diminishes, and the pelvic floor muscles may weaken, resulting in leaks and urgency.
Hormonal changes, particularly during and after menopause, can also affect bladder control, as a decrease in oestrogen can lead to the thinning of the tissues in the urethra and bladder, making them less able to hold urine. Childbirth is another key factor, as the strain on the pelvic floor muscles and nerves during delivery can weaken these structures, contributing to incontinence later in life. Chronic conditions such as diabetes, obesity, or neurological disorders like Parkinson’s disease or multiple sclerosis can also damage the nerves that control the bladder, leading to incontinence.
Despite its prevalence, many people believe incontinence is just a normal part of aging or something that can’t be fixed. However, there are effective treatments, like Stimpod, that target the root causes of incontinence and help restore bladder control, giving people back their confidence and quality of life.
If you’re suffering with incontinence, you might be dealing with bladder leaks, urgency or the constant fear that you always need to be near a toilet. It’s one of those issues that many people don’t talk about, but it’s actually very common. When it affects you, it can impact your social life, your confidence and even your relationship with your own body. Many of our patients have lived with this problem for years, thinking it’s just a part of aging or something they just have to accept. But I’m here to tell you that’s not the case.
Incontinence often stems from weakened pelvic floor muscles, nerve damage or hormonal changes, and these factors require specific therapies to correct. If you’ve tried pelvic floor exercises without success, it might be because those exercises don’t fully address the nerve issues that can be the main cause of incontinence. In some cases, people also fail to see results due to inconsistent treatment or not giving the therapy enough time to make a lasting impact. Effective treatments, like Stimpod, focus on resetting the nerves controlling bladder function for long-term results.
At HT Physio in Farnham, we specialise in helping people regain their independence and mobility, and overcome problems that doctors often dismiss as being due to age. One way we do this is by helping people regain control of their bladder by addressing the root cause, which is often the nerves that control the area.
We now offer a brand-new treatment at HT Physio called Stimpod. This treatment targets the problem nerves and effectively resets them, similar to rebooting a computer to make it work better again. This helps you regain the bladder or bowel control you once lost.
The treatment is pain-free, non-invasive and perfect for people who have tried various methods, including pelvic floor exercises, without any improvement. Alongside experienced physiotherapy, Stimpod can help you regain bladder control, reduce urgency and prevent leaks that cause embarrassment.
This isn’t just about improving your bladder control – it’s about getting your life and confidence back. If you’re unsure whether this approach is right for you, we’re currently offering 100% free discovery sessions. These 30-minute appointments are completely free, where you can meet one of our expert physiotherapists, explain your problem, and what you’ve tried so far. We will then tell you whether Stimpod is the right treatment for you.
If it is, we’ll explain exactly what treatment would look like, and if it’s not, we’ll guide you to someone else who can help. You deserve more than just coping with the problem; you deserve to regain your life. This could be the solution that gives you those results.
We’ve had many success stories with people who thought there was no hope. After receiving treatment with Stimpod, their lives have completely changed.
If you have any doubts about whether this is right for you, please get in touch. We’d love to have a conversation with you, with no judgment, no pressure, and without pushing you to do anything you’re not comfortable with. You’ll have the opportunity to make a decision that could transform your health.
