Urinary Frequency in Vancouver

Specialized Care for Urinary Frequency in Vancouver, Washington

Struggling with frequent urges to urinate can disrupt your daily life and leave you feeling frustrated. At Pinnacle Women’s Therapeutics, we understand the physical and emotional toll that urinary frequency can take, and we are here to help. Our expert physical therapists provide tailored, evidence-based care to address the root causes of your symptoms and help you regain control.

Understanding Urinary Frequency

Urinary frequency is characterized by an unusually high number of trips to the bathroom, often accompanied by the feeling of not being able to fully empty your bladder. It can occur during the day, at night (nocturia), or both.
Common causes include:

  •  Overactive bladder
  • Pelvic floor muscle tension or dysfunction
  • Stress or anxiety
  • Hormonal changes (e.g., during pregnancy, postpartum, or menopause)
  • Bladder irritants in the diet (e.g., caffeine, alcohol, acidic foods)
  • Chronic conditions, such as interstitial cystitis or bladder pain syndrome

If left untreated, urinary frequency can interfere with work, social activities, sleep, and overall quality of life.

How We Treat Urinary Frequency

At Pinnacle Women’s Therapeutics, we take a holistic approach to treating urinary frequency. Our comprehensive treatment plans include:

Comprehensive Evaluation

Your first appointment includes a thorough assessment of your medical history, bladder habits, and pelvic floor function. We work to identify the underlying causes of your symptoms to develop an individualized treatment plan.
Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation
Many cases of urinary frequency stem from dysfunction in the pelvic floor muscles, which play a critical role in bladder control. Our therapists use advanced techniques to:

  • Assess and retrain the pelvic floor muscles for better coordination
  • Reduce tension and spasms that may contribute to frequent urges
  • Build strength and endurance for improved bladder control

Bladder Retraining

We guide you through a personalized bladder retraining program to:

  • Gradually increase the intervals between bathroom visits
  • Address urgency patterns and improve bladder capacity
  • Help your bladder and brain develop more functional communication

Dietary and Lifestyle Modifications

Certain foods and beverages can irritate the bladder and worsen urinary frequency. Our team will help you identify and manage bladder irritants while creating a sustainable plan for hydration and nutrition.

Relaxation and Stress Management

Stress and anxiety often exacerbate urinary frequency. We incorporate techniques like diaphragmatic breathing and mindfulness strategies to calm the nervous system and reduce urgency triggers.

“I have two daughters who are competitive dancers and aspiring ballerinas. They have had various injuries due to the repetitive nature of dance as well as time spent training. I was lucky to have met Buffy Stinchfield at the girls’ dance studio and especially, because she is a former dancer as well. She has worked with my girls for over a year to pinpoint their injuries, prescribed effective exercises, made changes as necessary when needed. I’m happy to say my girls have recovered from those injuries.
Buffy is wonderful to work with; very patient and explained details of how muscles and skeletal system work together so we could understand why and what was going on with their bodies leading to pain. Very thorough. Buffy understood exactly what caused the pain through observing movements my girls performed, and exactly how to correct improper use of muscles and body alignment. Buffy will be the first person I visit when in need of a physical therapist. I highly recommend her! She will take the time needed to understand how your injury occurred, and get you on the road to recovery.”

“I went to Buffy because I am a 40+ tap dancer with lots of old injuries that are showing themselves. I also had a c-section with a horizontal and vertical incision, so I figured it couldn’t hurt to give some attention to any pelvic imbalances she may find. I know I picked the right PT because Buffy looks at me as an individual and decides on a treatment plan that is just right for me. She performs hands-on treatment as well as giving me exercises to practice on my own.”
