Bladder & Bowel Control — Men & Women
That sudden, urgent need to go — sometimes before you can reach the bathroom — along with frequent trips and waking through the night, is what we call overactive bladder. It is common, it is not something you simply have to live with, and it is not a character flaw or a sign of ageing you have to accept. Many people find real relief once the pelvic floor and bladder are supported properly, without medication or surgery.
What it is
With overactive bladder, the bladder muscle sends an urgent “go now” signal even when it isn’t full. That can mean urgency, going far more often than feels normal, and getting up at night (nocturia). A pelvic floor that isn’t working in a coordinated way often makes these signals harder to manage.
Who it affects
Overactive bladder affects both women and men, and it becomes more common with age, after childbirth, around menopause, and after prostate surgery. Most people never mention it — which is exactly why it goes untreated for years. You are not alone in this, and raising it with us is simply the first practical step.
How we help
We begin by understanding your specific pattern, because the right approach depends on what is actually driving your symptoms.
EMSELLA® — Pelvic Floor Strengthening
EMSELLA® uses focused electromagnetic energy to prompt thousands of deep pelvic floor contractions per session — the kind that are hard to achieve on your own. You sit fully clothed for the session. Many patients find that a stronger, better-coordinated pelvic floor helps calm urgency and supports steadier bladder control over the course of a program. For some, hormone support also has a role, which we discuss at your assessment.
Bladder and pelvic-floor care begins with a complimentary consultation with Shannon — so you understand what is happening and what would help before you decide anything.
Meet with Shannon for a complimentary continence and pelvic floor consultation. She will review your symptoms, relevant medical history, bladder or bowel concerns and contributing factors, explain how pelvic floor strengthening and health teaching may help, and discuss the most appropriate next steps.
An EMSELLA® experience may be included when clinically appropriate — the pelvic-floor treatment you sit on, fully clothed. Whether it suits your situation is Shannon’s clinical judgment, discussed at your consultation.
From there you choose the approach that fits — a physiotherapy-led program or our standard program — with pricing laid out plainly and Shannon guiding which is right for you.
This is more than access to a chair. Depending on what your consultation finds, your care may include clinical history review, continence education, bladder and bowel health teaching, pelvic floor strengthening, behavioural recommendations, and referral or medical follow-up where appropriate.
Take the overactive-bladder screener (OAB-V8) to see where your symptoms sit — free, private, about two minutes. Bladder-leakage (ICIQ) and, for men, prostate-related urinary (IPSS) screeners are here too.
Start with a Complimentary Pelvic Floor Function Consultation with Shannon — no pressure, completely confidential. An EMSELLA® experience may be included when clinically appropriate. We’ll talk honestly about whether this is likely to help you.
