Incontinence can feel isolating, frustrating, and even embarrassing – but it’s also extremely common. Whether it’s a sudden urge to go, accidental leaks during exercise, or disrupted sleep from uncomfortable trips to the bathroom, urinary incontinence affects your confidence, independence, and overall quality of life.
At Houghton Physical Therapy, we provide effective, non-invasive treatments that target the root causes of incontinence, not just the symptoms. Our advanced solutions include Shockwave Therapy and Stimpod, both designed to restore pelvic floor function and improve nerve communication, helping you regain control naturally.
What Is Incontinence?
Incontinence refers to the involuntary loss of urine, often caused by weakness or dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles or nerves that control the bladder. There are different types:
- Stress Incontinence – leakage with laughing, sneezing, coughing, or exercise
- Urge Incontinence – a sudden, intense need to urinate followed by loss of control
- Mixed Incontinence – a combination of stress and urge symptoms
- Overflow Incontinence – difficulty fully emptying the bladder
It’s particularly common among women after pregnancy or menopause, and among men after prostate surgery – but can affect people of all ages and at different stages of life.
How We Can Help At Houghton Physical Therapy
At our practice, we specialize in pelvic floor rehabilitation using evidence-based strategies to strengthen muscles, retrain the nervous system, and restore function.
Alongside guided physical therapy sessions, we offer Shockwave Therapy and Stimpod – two of the most advanced tools available for treating the root cause of incontinence.
Shockwave Therapy: Rejuvenate Pelvic Floor Muscles
Shockwave Therapy uses targeted acoustic waves to activate tissue regeneration and improve circulation in the pelvic floor. This treatment is quick, gentle, and has been clinically shown to restore strength and elasticity to weakened tissues.
Benefits for Incontinence:
- Stimulates muscle repair and regeneration in the pelvic floor
- Increases blood flow to support tissue health
- Enhances nerve sensitivity and responsiveness
- Improves muscle tone, making it easier to hold and release urine
- Non-invasive, pain-free, and requires no downtime
Shockwave is ideal for clients who have experienced childbirth, aging-related pelvic changes, or ongoing pelvic floor dysfunction.
Stimpod Therapy: Reset and Restore Nerve Control
Stimpod NMS460 is a cutting-edge, FDA-cleared device that delivers radio frequency stimulation to peripheral nerves. In cases of incontinence, it helps retrain the brain-bladder connection and improve the coordination between muscles and nerves responsible for urinary control.
What Are The Benefits of Stimpod for Incontinence ?
- Stimulates the sacral nerves involved in bladder regulation
- Improves communication between the nervous system and pelvic floor
- Helps reduce overactive bladder symptoms
- Supports faster neuromuscular recovery after childbirth or surgery
- Gentle, needle-free, and completely non-invasive
Many clients report fewer urges and better control after just a few sessions.
Who Is This Treatment Suitable For?
These therapies are ideal for anyone experiencing:
- Leaks with sneezing, coughing, or movement
- Sudden, strong urges to urinate
- Nighttime bathroom trips disrupting sleep
- Feelings of incomplete bladder emptying
- Postpartum incontinence or post-surgical bladder issues.
Whether you’re newly experiencing symptoms or have been dealing with incontinence for years, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan to support your recovery.
