Incontinence Improvement with Pelvic PT?

Thanks so much this makes perfect sense.
I need to retrain my pelvic muscles and my bladder
One thing that I have learned is that certain days when I babysit or have a change in schedule my bladder training gets interrupted as does my progress. Going for a walk ( which I really need to do) or getting up and down with grand kids, causes significant stress incontinence (emptying my bladder whether I want to or not) when I go for a walk or babysit for several hours.
I can train my bladder best if I can more or less sit around which I guess is unrealistic/ I guess this is just part of real life getting in the way. Anyone have any little tips about this? How leakage caused by moving around interferes with scheduled bladder retraining?

thanks everyone

You can learn to do Kegels while sitting, standing or laying down. My understanding is we need to learn to isolate them from ab muscles. Full bladder or empty bladder too. I am 26 mos post removal and undergoing radiation which requires a full bladder. Kegels and controlled breathing while on the table. Many good sites on the web for pelvic floor strengthening for men.
