Experiencing urine leakage when you cough, sneeze, laugh, exercise, or lift? These symptoms may be associated with stress urinary incontinence (SUI), a common form of bladder leakage. At Aniyah Care in Ajax, our pelvic health team provides personalized assessment and treatment for stress urinary incontinence, serving patients throughout Ajax and Durham Region.

Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) occurs when physical pressure or ‘stress’ is placed on the bladder during movement or exertion, and urine leaks because the muscles holding the bladder outlet closed are not strong enough to resist it.
The muscles responsible for this closure are the pelvic floor, specifically the pubococcygeus and external urethral sphincter. These muscles act as a supportive hammock beneath the bladder and urethra. When they are weakened, stretched, or poorly coordinated, they cannot reliably counter sudden increases in intra-abdominal pressure, the kind generated by a cough, a sneeze, a jump, or a heavy lift.
The result is involuntary leakage. Not because your bladder is ‘weak.’ Because the pelvic floor muscles that support it need rehabilitation.
Stress urinary incontinence (SUI) is not an inevitable part of aging, having children, or being active. It is the result of specific, identifiable physical changes to the pelvic floor and it can be addressed with targeted treatment.
Our approach addresses the root cause directly: weakened pelvic floor muscles. We offer two complementary, non-invasive treatment options that can be used independently or together.
Directly targets the muscle weakness responsible for leaks with movement.
Comprehensive assessment and personalised rehabilitation for lasting pelvic floor strength.

” I avoided running for two years because of leaks. I didn’t even know there was a non-surgical option. After six sessions, I’m back to my morning runs without thinking twice.“
Not sure which condition applies to you? Our conditions pages explain each type of pelvic floor dysfunction in plain, compassionate language including what causes it and what treatment may help.
Postpartum pelvic floor dysfunction is one of the most common.
Urge incontinence and overactive bladder are among the most disruptive.
Pelvic floor dysfunction isn’t always about visible leaks. Pressure, heaviness.

No. Stress incontinence is caused by weakened or poorly coordinated pelvic floor muscles not a weak or malfunctioning bladder. The bladder itself typically functions normally. Targeting the pelvic floor through treatment addresses the actual source of the problem.
Kegel exercises can help mild cases, but many people perform them incorrectly or generate insufficient activation for meaningful improvement. The Freedom+ Chair delivers thousands of precisely targeted, supramaximal contractions per session far exceeding what voluntary exercises typically achieve.
No. While SUI is significantly more common in women, it affects men particularly those who have undergone prostate surgery or radiation therapy. Treatment is equally effective across genders.
The Freedom+ Chair is a fully clothed treatment no undressing at any point. Pelvic floor physiotherapy may involve internal assessment if clinically appropriate and with your full informed consent. This is always explained in advance; you remain in complete control throughout.
