Pelvic Floor Therapy

Bladder Leaks, Pelvic Pain, Urgency or Discomfort Are Common—But They Are Not Normal

Do you leak when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise? Feel a constant need to use the bathroom? Experience pelvic pain, pressure, or discomfort? Struggle with constipation, painful intimacy, or core weakness?

Frequently Asked Questions

Is bladder leakage normal after having children?

It is common, but it is not something you simply have to live with. Pelvic floor therapy can often help improve bladder control and reduce leakage.

Do I need an internal examination?

Not necessarily. Internal assessments are only performed when appropriate and with your informed consent. External assessment and treatment options are also available.

Can pelvic floor therapy help with painful intimacy?

Yes. Pelvic floor dysfunction can contribute to pain during intimacy, and therapy may help address contributing muscle tension, coordination issues, and movement patterns.

Can pelvic floor therapy help during menopause?

Absolutely. Hormonal changes during perimenopause and menopause can affect pelvic tissues, bladder function, and sexual health.
