Staying well hydrated is a good rule to follow for anyone, including people with OAB.
How does physical therapy work for OAB patients?
It's a two-pronged approach: pelvic floor muscle rehabilitation and bladder retraining.
The muscles of your pelvic floor [which are meant to support the bladder, uterus, vagina and rectum], need to be strong enough to hold up your bladder. And the sphincter muscles surrounding the urethra – through which the bladder muscle empties its urine – need to be strong enough to keep urination under control.
Identifying the hidden pelvic floor muscles is the first step. We give specific exercises, including Kegels[1], that a woman can do at home to build strength, endurance and coordination.
Once reasonable pelvic floor strength is achieved, bladder retraining can begin. A woman can use her new pelvic floor strength to battle her overactive bladder, using the voiding reflex.
I teach specific techniques that will make the urge to urinate disappear, without using the bathroom.
