Incontinence and Pelvic Pain Program
If you have poor bladder or bowel control, and/or pelvic pain, our Incontinence and Pelvic Pain Program is designed to provide you relief. Our physical therapists are specially trained in non-surgical treatment, which focuses on:
- Improving sensory awareness
- Decreasing muscle spasm
- Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles
What You Can Expect
After our therapist completes an individual assessment to fully understand your needs, your treatment plan will be developed. It may include:
- Pelvic floor muscle training
- Manual therapy techniques
- Behavior re-education
- Biofeedback and electrical stimulation
Because pelvic pain and bladder/bowel control problems are often related to orthopedic issues, we also emphasize stretching and strengthening of the back, hips, pelvic (sacroiliac) joints, and abdominal muscles.
