Pelvic Floor Therapy

Urinary incontinence is a loss of bladder control that can result in minor, occasional leaking to uncontrollable wetting.

Pelvic floor physical therapy helps patients to correct pelvic floor muscle dysfunction that contributes to bladder and bowel symptoms as well as pelvic pain.

By strengthening the pelvic floor muscles through exercises, specially trained therapists at Powers Health may help patients improve the ability to manage bladder and bowels, decrease pelvic pain, regain control and improve quality of life.

The most common types of urinary incontinence are stress incontinence and urge incontinence. Stress incontinence happens when urine leaks through a weakened pelvic floor muscle as a person laughs, coughs, exercises or lifts a heavy object. People who experience urge incontinence leak when they need to use the restroom and cannot get there fast enough.
