Improving Incontinence
What’s Happening In Your Body
Your pelvic floor muscles are responsible for supporting your bowels and bladder and controlling the sphincters that hold in poop and pee (hey, someone has to do it). Incontinence is a signal that these muscles lack strength and/or coordination.
Work 1:1 With A Physical Therapist
Your PT will help you restore strength to your pelvic floor, so leaks happen less often (or stop altogether). Treatment may include:
- Techniques for connecting with your pelvic floor
- Manual pelvic floor therapy
- Strength & coordination exercises
- Vaginal weights — yes, your vagina can lift weights
Power Up Your Pelvic Floor
On average, treatment takes 12 weekly visits, but you may notice results much sooner as you relearn how to effectively coordinate, contract, and release your pelvic floor.

Bladder & Bowel Control
Peeing when you sneeze or cough, releasing a blast of air in downward dog, stressing when you’re anywhere without a bathroom… You don’t have to put up with a leaky bladder or bowels for the rest of your life — and spend a fortune on absorbent underwear — just because you’ve been pregnant or are past a certain age.
A PT can help you regain control by treating pelvic floor dysfunction that leads to incontinence. We even offer virtual visits so you can skip the commute.

Common & Treatable
Incontinence affects 1 in 3 women, and many don’t realize that it’s 100% treatable. Pelvic physical therapy is an effective treatment for both urinary and fecal incontinence.
