Our Method

RELEASE

In the release phase we teach your body awareness of the pelvic floor, breathing mechanics (game changer) and work on any joint and scar tissue restrictions build a foundation for strength.

RELOAD

In the reload phase we work to strengthen the areas that are weak, improving core activation and syncing pelvic floor with deep core during exercise. This sets you up for good results in the next phase.

RETURN

In the return phase we lift, squat, jump, bend, jump rope and work strategy. This is where all you have worked on really comes together and the hard work pays off.

Leakage During Exercise


Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is characterized by the involuntary leakage of urine during physical activities, such as coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising. This occurs due to weakened pelvic floor muscles, pelvic floor muscles that are too tight and/or dysfunction of the urethral sphincter, which normally help to maintain continence. SUI can significantly impact a person’s quality of life, leading to embarrassment, social isolation, and reduced physical activity.

Stress urinary incontinence is treated with our famous 3-step method. We take a holistic approach and evaluate how your pelvic floor is working but we also look outside the pelvic floor for culprits impacting leakage (lack of trunk rotation, poor diaphragm and postural mechanics, decreased hip strength, even an old ankle injury).

Our Method

When there are imbalances in the bodies deep core system it can impact something called “intra-abdominal pressure”. This system forms a canister and helps control pressure. Leakage is result from poor mechanics in the deep core system or a pressure “leak”. Vaginal child birth is a risk factor for this type of incontinence but it isn’t necessary. Many young female athletes experience stress incontinence.

Leaking Near the Toilet

Urge incontinence, also known as overactive bladder (OAB), is a type of urinary incontinence characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate, followed by involuntary urine leakage. This occurs when the muscles of the bladder, called the detrusor muscles, contract involuntarily and more frequently than normal, even when the bladder is not full. Urge incontinence can significantly affect an individual’s quality of life, leading to frequent and urgent trips to the bathroom, sleep disturbances, and increased risk of accidents.

Urge incontinence is very individualized and can be greatly helped by a look at bowel/bladder habits and retraining your bladder on correct times to void. This form of therapy is “brain and bladder retraining” and looks different for everyone based on their triggers and symptoms. This can commonly found with stress incontinence as well. When they are both present we refer to it as mixed urinary incontinence.

Bowel and bladder habits over time can cause the bladder to react at incorrect times. Bladder triggers are common both in things that you intake and environmental cues. For example, every time you try to put your key in the door it becomes almost impossible to hold it.

Urine leakage is NOT normal!!! For years we’re told it’s just how things go after having a baby. It does NOT have to be like that!! I had some leakage with exercise and with only a few short weeks my problem had completely resolved! Loren is an amazing therapist, listening to concerns, performing assessments and then tailoring your therapy treatment to you and your goals. We even got rid of some chronic hip pain that was totally related to my pelvic floor, who knew?!. My therapy has truly been life changing. No more leakage – without expensive, possibly ineffective, surgery. No more hip pain, no more painful intercourse. Everyone needs Loren in their lives.
