A Holistic Approach to Relief
Living with incontinence can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to face it alone. At Mana Physical Therapy, we provide a supportive and compassionate environment where you can find effective solutions.
Incontinence, particularly urinary incontinence, is more common than many realize. Research shows it affects people across all genders, with nearly half of individuals assigned female at birth experiencing it at some point in their lives. Those assigned male at birth are also impacted, with prevalence rates ranging from 3% to 11%.
This condition often results from a weakened or overstretched pelvic floor—the group of muscles that supports the bladder and bowels. The good news? Effective treatments are available to help you regain control and confidence. Visit our Lake Como and East Brunswick clinics to explore your options today.
Types of Incontinence
Stress Incontinence
This is the most common type, where urine leaks during activities that put pressure on the bladder, such as laughing, sneezing, or exercising.
Urge Incontinence
Characterized by a sudden, intense urge to urinate, urge incontinence is more frequently seen in men.
Mixed Incontinence
A combination of stress and urge incontinence, this type presents symptoms of both conditions.
Total Incontinence
Rare and typically caused by an underlying condition (e.g., a spinal cord injury), this form results in a complete lack of bladder control.
Addressing Fecal Incontinence
Fecal incontinence shares similarities with urinary incontinence and may also stem from pelvic floor issues. Our evidence-based treatments can address both conditions in a confidential and understanding setting.
