Overview
Many people with urinary incontinence think it’s a natural part of aging and that they simple have to live with. Or they assume the only option is surgery, so they’re reluctant to bring it up with their doctor.
Urinary incontinence and other pelvic floor conditions are a very common problem as women — and men — age. It can include urine leakage with you laugh or pain during intercourse. The good news is that it can be treated.
Pelvic floor physical therapy is a specialized area of physical therapy that treats women and men with conditions affecting the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor. These muscles support the bladder, bowel, uterus (in women), prostate (in men), vagina, and rectum, and are essential for continence, sexual function, core stability, and recovery after pregnancy or surgery.
Our pelvic floor physical therapists help you identify which pelvic floor muscles that need to be strengthened. They then give you specific exercises to work on, including Kegel exercises, and the feedback you need to know if you are doing them correctly. Together, the exercises and feedback will help decrease the number of stress incontinent episodes.
Our pelvic floor physical therapists understand that urine leakage and other pelvic floor conditions are a sensitive and often embarrassing issue. They are specially trained to help you strengthen the muscles that support your pelvic floor. Every day, they help women and men regain bladder and bowel control through simple exercises and noninvasive, nonsurgical treatment.
Our pelvic floor physical therapists provide evidence-based, individualized care to restore function, reduce symptoms, and improve quality of life.
