Urinary Concerns

Support for urinary leakage, urgency, frequency, and bladder habits with a whole-body pelvic floor approach

Service Overview

The bladder and pelvic floor work together. Pelvic floor muscles help support the bladder and contribute to urinary control, while the nervous system coordinates when the bladder fills and empties.

Bladder symptoms can have many causes, including muscle coordination, daily habits, hormonal changes, pregnancy, surgery, and other medical conditions. Pelvic floor physical therapy focuses on the musculoskeletal and behavioral factors that may be contributing. It does not replace evaluation by a physician or urologist.
