Symptoms we treat for men
Stress incontinence is a type of urinary incontinence where urine leaks out during activities that increase pressure inside the abdomen, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, exercising, or lifting something heavy. It occurs when the pelvic floor muscles that controls the bladder are weakened, often due to surgery, aging, or hormonal changes.
Treatment consists of pelvic floor strengthening exercises, abdominal core exercises and bladder and lifestyle advice

Urge incontinence is a type of urinary incontinence where a person experiences a sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by an involuntary loss of urine, even if the bladder isn’t full. This condition is caused by involuntary contractions of the detrusor muscle (the muscle in the bladder wall), which may be triggered by certain stimuli such as:
- Hearing running water
- Arriving home (known as "key-in-the-door" syndrome)
- Cold weather or drinking caffeine/alcohol
Pelvic floor strengthening exercises, abdominal core exercises, bladder retraining, urgency suppression techniques and lifestyle advice.
Pelvic floor dysfunction occurs when the muscles of the pelvic floor are either too weak, tight, or not working in coordination. Dysfunction can lead to symptoms like urinary or fecal incontinence, constipation, pelvic pain, or a feeling of heaviness or pressure. It can result from surgery, aging, trauma, or chronic straining.
Treatment consists of pelvic floor strengthening exercises, manual therapy, bladder and bowel retraining, education and lifestyle advice and relaxation techniques.
Overactive bladder is characterised by a frequent and sudden urge to urinate, which can be difficult to control. It may lead to involuntary urine leakage (urge incontinence), frequent urination (typically more than 8 times in 24 hours), and waking up multiple times at night to urinate (nocturia). It can occur when the bladder muscles contract too often or involuntarily, even when the bladder isn’t full.
Treatment consists of bladder retraining, pelvic floor strengthening exercises, urgency suppression techniques and lifestyle advice
Pelvic pain refers to discomfort or pain that occurs in the lower abdomen or pelvis, which may be persistent or intermittent
Treatment consists of pelvic floor strengthening exercises, manual therapy, myofascial release, relaxation techniques, stretching and mobilisation and education around pelvic pain.

Absolutely not, we treat you with a high level of professionalism and we are assessing your body's function, your appearance is completely irrelevant.
Yes - the clinic has enough room for a pram, there is a baby bouncer available to use. There are ramps from the driveway all the way to the clinic door.
While the aim is for the examination to be as comfortable as possible, some individuals may experience a degree of discomfort or pressure, however it's usually not described as painful. Your feedback is important, so please communicate any discomfort you feel to your physiotherapist during the examination. They can work with you to make it more tolerable.
