Incontinence Support in Vancouver
Leaking when you cough, lift or exercise - or feeling a sudden urgency to reach the bathroom - can affect how comfortable you feel being active.
Stress incontinence involves leakage with activities such as sneezing, jumping or lifting. Urge incontinence involves leakage associated with a sudden, strong need to urinate. Some women experience both, known as mixed incontinence. (NHS)
At Alignmethod, we help you understand your body and build confidence in movement, alongside care from your pelvic floor physiotherapist.
Understand your Pelvic Floor. Move with Greater Confidence.
Experienced Guidance, Individual Attention
With over 17 years of experience supporting women and extensive education in core and pelvic health, we understand the value of an individual approach.
Your symptoms, movement patterns and physiotherapist’s recommendations help shape your training. Together, we work towards improving your exercise experience and supporting symptom management.
Build Strength and Practical Skills
Our approach combines education, breathwork and progressive exercise to help you develop:
Pelvic floor awareness: understanding the importance of contraction, relaxation and coordination.
Pressure management: exploring breathing and effort strategies during lifting and exercise.
Core and whole-body strength: building capacity for everyday tasks and the activities you enjoy.
Confident movement: adjusting exercise loads, positions and intensity to your symptoms.
Practical understanding: learning how to apply your physiotherapist’s guidance during training.
Strength training supports your overall physical capacity. We help you integrate it thoughtfully with your pelvic floor rehabilitation, progressing according to your needs.
Effective care depends on the type of incontinence. NICE recommends at least three months of supervised pelvic floor muscle training as a first-line treatment for stress or mixed incontinence. For urgency or mixed incontinence, it recommends bladder training for at least six weeks. (NICE)
Our training complements this clinical care, helping you put movement strategies into practice and build strength around your individual rehabilitation plan.

Where should you begin?
A private training session gives us time to understand your goals, symptoms and any recommendations from your pelvic floor physiotherapist. If you haven’t yet had an assessment, we encourage this to help identify the right approach for you.
We’ll build a tailored starting plan and guide you towards suitable classes as your confidence and capacity grow.
