Urinary issues can range from little leaks when you sneeze to full voiding when standing up, or frequent urges to void your bladder. There are several types of incontinence that include stress incontinence, urge incontinence, and a mixture of both. Prolapse occurs when the pelvic floor or connective tissue no longer supports the vagina, cervix, bladder, or rectum.

Bowel incontinence and constipation drastically change our lives. These conditions can cause pain and embarrassment making us alter our daily lives around them. You may be experiencing constipation, bowel or flatulence incontinence, irritable bowel syndrome, and more.

Pelvic pain can be difficult to live with and too often it’s dealt with alone. Until recently, the pelvic floor was an unknown territory and any talk of treating it was taboo. You may experience pain with urination or defecation, painful intercourse, pain with sitting or movement, and this pain can feel like it’s affecting your entire hip complex and more.

A strong pelvic floor, and well-coordinated one, can make the pregnancy, delivery, and postpartum experience more enjoyable. Often women will experience any of the other pelvic conditions during this phase of life, all of which can be treated and improved with pelvic physical therapy.
