November Is All About Bladder Health!

Bladder health plays a huge role in how we move, feel, and live. Yet it’s something many people don’t think about until issues begin. Leaking with exercise, running to the bathroom “just in case,” or waking up multiple times at night might seem common, but they’re not normal.

At Movement Physio and Wellness, we want to change the conversation around bladder health. Your bladder and pelvic floor work as a team, when one isn’t functioning well, the other feels the impact. Weakness, tension, poor coordination, or even habits like “just in case” peeing can disrupt this system and lead to problems like:

• Urinary leakage (stress or urge incontinence)

• Urgency and frequency

• Difficulty starting or fully emptying the bladder

• Pelvic or bladder pressure

The good news? You can retrain your bladder and pelvic floor. Pelvic floor physical therapy helps restore proper muscle strength, flexibility, and timing so your bladder can function the way it’s meant to. We also guide you through bladder retraining techniques, posture education, and lifestyle strategies that make lasting improvements.

This month, we encourage you to check in with your bladder habits. Are you holding too long, going “just in case,” or dealing with leaks you’ve brushed off? Small changes can make a big difference.

Your bladder deserves the same care and attention as the rest of your body. If you’re ready to take charge of your bladder health, we’re here to help every step of the way.

Quick Tip for Better Bladder Habits:

Try spacing out bathroom trips to every 2–4 hours during the day. This helps your bladder relearn healthy capacity and reduces unnecessary urgency
