Can I leak urine because my bladder is not emptying properly?

Yes. Leakage can occur when the bladder does not empty fully. Frequent small trips, difficulty starting or a persistent feeling of incomplete emptying deserve evaluation; leakage does not always mean an overactive bladder or weak pelvic-floor muscles. NIDDK.

Chair treatment should not be assumed to address that problem. The cause needs to be understood before choosing a treatment.

Next: Tell Valerie about emptying difficulties before scheduling chair care. If you suddenly cannot urinate, seek urgent medical care rather than waiting for a routine appointment.
