Urinary Incontinence Treatment (PTNS) Physiotherapy-led treatment to support bladder control, reduce urgency, and improve daily confidence.
What Is PTNS (Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation)?
Posterior Tibial Nerve Stimulation (PTNS) is a physiotherapy-based treatment used to manage urinary incontinence and overactive bladder symptoms. It works by gently stimulating the posterior tibial nerve, which influences the nerve pathways responsible for bladder control.
Many people seek PTNS treatment for urinary urgency, frequent urination, urge incontinence, sudden bladder urges, and difficulty controlling bladder function — often after other conservative measures have not provided sufficient relief.
At GK Physiotherapy, PTNS is delivered as part of a structured, clinically guided treatment plan. The focus is on improving bladder regulation while maintaining comfort, privacy, and patient dignity throughout the process.At GK Physiotherapy, strength and conditioning rehabilitation is delivered progressively and safely. The focus is on restoring movement quality first, then building strength in a controlled way that matches real-life and activity demands.

-
Urge urinary incontinence
-
Overactive bladder symptoms

Frequent urination

Sudden or strong bladder urges
