Incontinence

We understand that incontinence, whether urinary or bowel-related, can impact every aspect of your daily life.

We offer compassionate evidence-based pelvic floor physiotherapy for both women and men, helping you regain strength, reduce leakage, and rediscover confidence.

Incontinence is treatable and confidence can be regained with the right support.


Women can experience urinary incontinence due to childbirth, surgery, ageing, or muscle weakness. If you leak when coughing, laughing, exercising or feel urgency or increased frequency, physiotherapy is a proven first-line treatment.


In Australia, 30% of men who see their GP report bladder or pelvic floor issues, yet most don't openly discuss their symptoms. Underlying contributors may include prostate enlargement or surgery, nerve damage, neurological conditions, urinary tract infections, or chronic health issues such as diabetes.


Combined, our team has over 35 years of experience and working with the incontinence problems for people of all genders. We collaborate closely with medical professionals to ensure care is holistic, confidential and tailored to you.


Whether you're dealing with stress, urge or bowel incontinence, you don't have to just live with it.

At PFM Physio, we provide a confidential, evidence-based, and person-centered approach to help you take back control and improve your quality of life.

How PFM Physio can help.


At PFM Physio, we provide a comprehensive, individualised approach to help you manage and improve bladder and bowel control. Your treatment plan is tailored to your specific needs and may include: Your personalised program may include:


  • Bladder support pessaries – devices designed to support the bladder and reduce leakage during daily activities
  • Pelvic floor muscle training – exercises to strengthen and coordinate your pelvic muscles, sometimes enhanced with biofeedback, electrical stimulation, or EMSELLA chair therapy for faster, more measurable progress
  • Bladder retraining techniques – strategies to help your bladder hold urine for longer periods and reduce urgency episodes
  • Functional pelvic floor muscle responses – training your pelvic muscles to activate automatically during coughing, sneezing, lifting, or exercise
  • Lifestyle coaching – guidance on fluid intake, diet, exercise, and habits that support long-term continence success
  • Optimising medications and supplements – working with your GP to review continence medications, bowel supplements, or HRT to ensure your treatment plan is fully supported.


With expert guidance and ongoing monitoring, many clients notice improved bladder control, reduced leakage, and greater confidence in daily life.
