Bladder & Bowel Impairments

Some individuals experience significant bladder and bowel discomfort, which may require emergency room visits or reliance on medications and/or surgery for proper function. Others might feel sensations of their bladder or rectum as if they are falling out, potentially indicating a prolapse. Issues like leakage when coughing, laughing, or sneezing, as well as constipation or bloating, are also common but not necessarily normal. Fortunately, we can help with these concerns and more! Through pelvic physical therapy, we can help restore proper function to your bladder and bowels. During your initial evaluation, we will develop a personalized care plan to achieve your therapy goals. Even with the right tools, performing the wrong exercises can hinder progress. At The Pelvic Place Physical Therapy, we have extensive experience treating prolapse, leakage, constipation, IBS, pelvic floor weakness, pelvic floor tightness, and related issues.

While surgery and medications are options, pelvic physical therapy offers a unique advantage in that it has no side effects. This approach is personalized, addressing your specific needs and integrating daily activities. At The Pelvic Place Physical Therapy, we use advanced, non-invasive treatments to promote healing and optimize function. The treatments are pain-free and include internal and external pelvic floor therapies to strengthen or relax the target muscles. Additionally, we offer electrical stimulation, EMG biofeedback, laser therapy, ultrasound therapy, vaginal dilators, dry needling/acupuncture, and life-size pelvic display models for education and visual assistance. We implement the latest evidence-based educational exercises and create handouts to ensure that you understand what to perform and how to perform them correctly.

We want to empower you on this journey of controlling your body and not letting your body control you!
