Living with Leaks Shouldn't Be Your New Normal
Avoiding Activities You Love
Constantly Planning Around Bathrooms
Feeling Dismissed by Healthcare Providers
Skipping workouts, avoiding trampolines with your kids, or saying no to girls' night out because you're worried about embarrassing leaks when you laugh, sneeze, or move.
That urgent feeling that disrupts your day, forces you to map out every bathroom location, and makes you anxious about being far from home or stuck in traffic.
Being told your symptoms are normal after childbirth or just part of aging, leaving you frustrated, unheard, and wondering if you'll ever feel like yourself again.

Urinary Incontinence Treatment FAQs
Common questions about pelvic floor therapy in Hamilton
1. Do I need a referral for urinary incontinence treatment?
​
In Massachusetts, you can access pelvic floor physical therapy and occupational therapy without a physician referral. However, some insurance plans may require a referral for coverage, so we recommend checking with your insurance provider. We're happy to help you navigate this process.
​
2. What should I expect at my first visit for urinary incontinence?
​
Your first appointment is a comprehensive 90-minute evaluation where we'll discuss your complete health history, your specific symptoms and goals, and perform a full-body assessment. We take time to understand not just your pelvic floor, but how your entire body, nervous system, and daily habits contribute to your leaking. You'll leave with a clear understanding of what's happening and a personalized treatment plan.
​
3. How long does urinary incontinence treatment take?
​
Treatment duration varies based on your individual needs and goals. Most clients see significant improvement within 8-12 weeks of consistent treatment, with some experiencing relief even sooner. Each follow-up session is a full 60 minutes one-on-one with your therapist, allowing us to progress your treatment efficiently.
​
4. Can I bring my baby to appointments?
​
Absolutely! We're a baby-friendly clinic and understand the challenges of finding childcare, especially for new moms. Many of our postpartum clients bring their newborns to sessions. We'll work around feeding schedules and fussy moments—your baby is always welcome here.
​
5. Is pelvic floor therapy covered by insurance?
​
Coverage varies by insurance plan. We're considered an out-of-network provider, but many clients successfully use their out-of-network benefits. We can provide you with a superbill (detailed receipt) to submit to your insurance for potential reimbursement. We believe quality, personalized care is worth the investment in yourself.
​
6. Will I be told to just do kegels?
​
Definitely not! While pelvic floor strengthening may be part of your treatment, we don't believe in cookie-cutter kegels or clamshell exercises. Many women with urinary incontinence actually have overactive or tight pelvic floor muscles that need to relax and lengthen, not strengthen. We create individualized treatment plans based on what YOUR body needs, combining hands-on therapy, targeted movement, breathing techniques, and nervous system work.
​
7. What if I've been dealing with leaking for years—is it too late?
​
It's never too late to address urinary incontinence! We've successfully helped women who've been experiencing leaking for months, years, or even decades. Whether your incontinence started postpartum, during menopause, or at any other time, your pelvic floor can respond to the right treatment approach. Many clients wish they'd come to see us sooner, but we're here whenever you're ready.
​
8. Do you only treat postpartum women?
​
No! While we specialize in pregnancy and postpartum care, we treat women across all life stages experiencing urinary incontinence—whether you're perimenopausal, menopausal, have never had children, or are dealing with incontinence related to exercise, aging, or other factors. Our whole-body approach works for any woman experiencing bladder leaks near me in Hamilton and throughout the North Shore.
