Urinary & Fecal Incontinence

Urinary Incontinence

Specialized Freedom Physical Therapists help patients reduce or eliminate inconvenient and embarrassing symptoms associated with incontinence, or involuntary loss of bladder or bowel control.

Signs and symptoms of incontinence include:

Leaking on the way to the bathroom
Underwear soiling
Inability to control where or when bowel movements occur
Leaking after using the bathroom
Use of protective pads or garments

Incontinence may be due to a variety of causes, often several at once, including:

Pelvic muscle weakness
Abnormal tension in pelvic, hip or thigh muscles
Nerve injury or entrapment
Loss of pelvic support
Scar formation following surgery or childbirth
Food allergies or intolerances

We’re here to help!

Freedom therapists perform a comprehensive evaluation, including review of your medical history, in order to define the cause of your incontinence. Individualized goals are taken into consideration when developing a treatment plan which may include: pelvic muscle exercise, core stabilization, manual therapy, biofeedback and electrical stimulation.
