Words Erin Craven, CEO & Founder of UROSPOT
For many, staying active – whether it’s running, golfing, kayaking, or simply enjoying time outdoors – is a key part of feeling good and living fully. But bladder leaks and urgency can quietly chip away at that sense of independence.
Whether it’s the sudden need to rush to the nearest bathroom during your favourite activity, or the worry of leaking while running, coughing or laughing, pelvic floor issues can take a real toll on your confidence and quality of life.
The good news is that effective care for these pelvic floor challenges is available. But knowing how to find the right support makes all the difference.
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized field, and not all providers approach it the same way. If you’re considering care, here are some key things to keep in mind.
Are they true specialists in pelvic health?
Choose providers with advanced training focused on pelvic floor therapy – ask if they work as part of an interdisciplinary team of experts. This might include physiotherapists, nurses or other licensed professionals who understand the complexity of these muscles and how they impact your everyday life.
Do they offer a comprehensive assessment?
Effective care begins with a comprehensive, personalized assessment – not only of the pelvic floor muscles but also of your posture, breathing, core strength and lifestyle. Understanding how all these elements interact is essential for achieving lasting results.
Are you offered treatment options?
There have been numerous advances in pelvic health, including non-invasive technology that allows you to stay fully clothed while addressing pelvic health challenges. This option can be incorporated into your treatment plan as a supportive tool and is available to anyone aiming to improve the fitness of the pelvic floor – quickly and effectively.
Are you presented with an individualized plan?
Your care should be customized to your body, your lifestyle and your comfort level. That includes clear communication, evidence-based treatment options, and the space to ask questions and be heard.
When pelvic floor therapy is done well, it can transform how you move through the world. It can mean longer walks, carefree laughter, better sleep, and renewed confidence in your body.
Feeling strong, supported, and free – whether you’re in the boardroom or on the trail – isn’t too much to ask. It’s what good care should deliver.
