WE CAN HELP. Making the first call is the hardest.

31% of women age 42-50 suffer from urinary incontinence and 1 in 10 women will experience an episode that soaks their clothes, yet less than 50% will consult their physician about incontinence!"

Urinary and fecal incontinence occur when muscles of the pelvic floor that control bladder or bowel functions are weak or uncoordinated. A loss of bladder or bowel control results in the leakage of urine or feces. Incontinence may be caused by muscle weakness, childbirth/pregnancy, assisted delivery, perineal tearing, hormonal changes, obesity, surgical trauma, repetitive heavy lifting, pelvic fractures, prostate surgery, chronic cough, and prolonged standing.

Your treatments will be performed in a confidential and sensitive manner. Your therapist will educate you on normal bladder or bowel health and pelvic floor muscle function. Our therapists use electromyography (EMG) biofeedback to train your pelvic floor muscles, and depending on your condition, you may be provided with: a personalized exercise program, bladder or bowel diary and voiding schedule, fluid management system and bladder or bowel retraining. The goals of physical therapy for incontinence include: decreasing or resolving urinary or fecal leakage, attaining a normal voiding frequency, identifying bladder irritants, and providing continence for all daily activities. The advantages of physical therapy treatment for this condition include lower cost, lower risk (non-surgical), lower use of medicine, and a 60-80% cured/improved rate. Our treatments are effective in treating stress incontinence (involuntary loss of urine or feces through coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising) and urge incontinence (inability of the bladder to serve effectively as a reservoir due to inappropriate bladder muscle contractions) and allow you to take an active role in your own treatment.
