I am now in PT as well. Had two ten-pound children with C-section scarring and nerve damage but really feeling it worse with age.

get off the caffeine! (Coffee, tea, and probably tomato sauce)....the acidic stuff, even lemon wedge in water.

Also a weird one but true for me, mineral water. I have forgotten this over and over, and my bladder reminds me every time.

If it's just active, the above.
If you leak a lot or are (face it) have stress or urge incontinence, pelvic floor muscle training works. It's done at a doctor's facility and isn't those Kegels. I was past that. PFMT works.

I just learned that as well - sparkling mineral water is a bladder irritant as are all carbonated beverages.
