Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Kraków
For urinary leakage and urgent, hard-to-control urges. We help you restore confidence with a discreet, respectful assessment and a practical plan that fits real life — not “just do Kegels”.
When patients book most often
• Urinary leakage with coughing, laughing, jumping or running (stress incontinence)
• Sudden strong urges and difficulty “holding it” (urgency / urge incontinence)
• Frequent urination, “just in case” toileting, bladder hypersensitivity
• Leakage after pregnancy or postpartum (including C-section)
• Pelvic heaviness, reduced support feeling, early prolapse symptoms
• Low back/hip tension that seems linked to pelvic floor overload
• Returning to sport and wanting to protect your core and pelvic floor
We work complementarily to medical care. If symptoms suggest infection, blood in urine, significant pelvic organ prolapse, or other red flags, we’ll guide you to the right doctor and diagnostics.
What makes our pelvic floor approach different
Leakage and urgency can come from weakness, over-tension, poor coordination, breathing strategy, core pressure management, or bladder habits. We find your specific pattern — then we tailor treatment and exercises so you improve without guesswork or embarrassment.
Pelvic floor therapy: what it is — and what it isn’t
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialised form of care for bladder control, pelvic support and core pressure management. It combines education, targeted exercises, manual therapy (when indicated), and habit training that helps your bladder and pelvic floor cooperate again.
It isn’t only “strengthening”. Sometimes the pelvic floor is too tense, fatigued or uncoordinated — and the right first step is release, breathing, and timing. The goal is control: coughing without leakage, and urgency without panic.
What we assess during the visit
We start with a discreet interview: your symptoms, triggers, fluid and caffeine habits, bowel function, stress and sleep, pregnancy/postpartum history (if relevant), and your goals. Then we assess breathing, posture, abdominal wall function, hip/pelvic mechanics and how you manage pressure during movement.
Key areas we typically check:
• pelvic floor coordination (relax–contract–release timing)
• bladder urgency pattern and behavioural triggers
• breathing and ribcage mechanics (pressure management link)
• core control and abdominal wall synergy
• hip and pelvic mobility that may overload pelvic tissues
What you get as a patient
You leave with a clear, personalised plan. We teach you the right pelvic floor strategy for your case (strength, relaxation or coordination), plus simple changes in breathing, habits and movement that reduce leakage and urgency quickly.
Home guidance often includes:
• “urge control” techniques (how to calm urgency safely)
• pelvic floor training matched to your pattern (not generic Kegels)
• breathing and pressure management for cough/lift/jump
• bladder habit coaching (frequency, fluids, triggers)
• progress markers and what to expect in the first weeks
