Ever feel like you just went to the bathroom… but now you need to go again? Or maybe you plan your errands around where the nearest restroom is just in case. If this sounds like you, you’re not alone, and more importantly, you’re not broken. Bladder urgency is more common than you think, and it’s something we help people with every single day.
What Bladder Urgency Feels Like
Let’s paint the picture: You’re standing in line at the grocery store, and suddenly your bladder screams, “Go NOW!” It’s not a gentle nudge. It’s a full-blown panic. You look around for the nearest exit and calculate whether you can make it. Or maybe you’re on a Zoom call, barely able to focus because your bladder is stealing the show.
That intense, sudden “gotta go” feeling that seems to come out of nowhere? That’s bladder urgency, and it can take over your daily life, your confidence, and even your sleep.
What’s Actually Happening in Your Body
Bladder urgency isn’t just “in your head” or because you drank too much water. It usually involves a few key players:
- Overactive bladder muscles: Your bladder may be sending “go now” signals to your brain before it’s actually full.
- Tight pelvic floor muscles: These muscles might be stuck in “guard” mode, making it harder for your body to communicate clearly about when it’s actually time to pee.
- Nerve sensitivity: Sometimes, the nerves around your bladder are on high alert, triggering urgency when there’s no real need.
Add stress, poor bladder habits (helloooo just-in-case peeing), past trauma, childbirth, or even constipation into the mix, and it’s no wonder your bladder feels confused.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Can Help
This is where we come in.
At Pelvic Prescription, we help you figure out why your bladder is acting this way and guide you step-by-step toward calm, confident control. Pelvic floor therapy is not just about doing Kegels (and honestly, those might make your urgency worse!).
Here’s how we help:
- Assessing your pelvic floor: Are your muscles too tight? Too weak? We’ll figure it out.
- Breath and pressure system training: Learning how your diaphragm and core play into bladder control is a game-changer.
- Bladder retraining strategies: We’ll teach your bladder how to wait again without relying on pads or emergency pit stops.
- Lifestyle & habit coaching: We help you break the “just in case” habits that are actually feeding the urgency.
No cookie-cutter approach. Just science, support, and a little bit of sass 😉
