Your bladder urgency isn’t just a bladder issue. 😵💫
It’s usually a combination of things — your bladder, your pelvic floor, your nervous system, and yes, even your hips.
I tell my patients this constantly: urgency shows up when there’s a breakdown somewhere in that whole system. Sometimes it’s a bladder issue itself. Sometimes it’s pelvic floor tightness. Sometimes it’s nervous system signaling. Sometimes it’s hip strength and mobility. Usually it’s more than one.
That’s why bladder suppressant medication alone doesn’t always resolve it — and neither does kegels alone. You’re treating one piece of a bigger picture.
This is exactly why pelvic floor PT should be your first stop, not your last resort after being bounced between providers. We look at the whole system, not just one muscle group.
