This Pelvic Health blog is brought to you by Esha.
Intro
You’ve had your baby, and you’re slowly getting back into your routine, but your bladder seems to have missed the memo. If you’re finding yourself rushing to the toilet more often, leaking unexpectedly, or waking up multiple times a night, your pelvic floor could be calling for support.
Why Bladder Issues Happen Postpartum
During pregnancy, the weight of the baby and hormonal changes stretch and weaken the pelvic support structures. After birth (even a C-section), the pelvic floor might not automatically “bounce back.” The result? Poor bladder control, urgency, or incomplete emptying.
Signs You Shouldn’t Ignore
- Leaking with effort or sudden urges
- Difficulty starting or stopping urine flow
- Constant need to pee, even after going
- Feeling heaviness or a dragging sensation
Physio Can Restore Bladder Function
Pelvic Health Physiotherapists are trained to assess:
- Bladder habits and voiding patterns
- Pelvic floor muscle coordination
- Abdominal pressure during daily activities
You’ll learn exercises, bladder retraining techniques, and body mechanics that reduce bladder strain and restore normal function.
