Bladder & Bowel Control

Surprise leaks when you laugh, sneeze, or exercise? Finding yourself mapping out bathroom locations everywhere you go? These issues aren't just "part of being a woman" or "what happens after babies."

Bladder and bowel control challenges affect millions of women, but they're not something you simply have to accept. These symptoms often signal pelvic floor muscles that need retraining—not unlike how you'd rehabilitate any other muscle group after injury.

Dr. Carly helps women regain confidence and control through specialized techniques that strengthen and coordinate your pelvic floor. Most women see significant improvement within just a few weeks of targeted therapy.

Understanding Incontinence

Your pelvic floor muscles perform crucial work every day—supporting your internal organs while also controlling bladder and bowel function. When leaks happen, it's often because these hardworking muscles have become either too weak or too tense to coordinate properly.

Think of your pelvic floor like any muscle group—it needs the right balance of strength, flexibility, and coordination to work effectively. Pregnancy, childbirth, aging, and even certain exercise patterns can disrupt this balance, but specialized training can restore proper function.

Why Physical Therapy Works

Dr. Carly will guide you through a personalized program designed to rebuild control and reduce or eliminate leaks. Your treatment approach may include:

Pelvic floor awareness training
Targeted manual therapy techniques
Customized strength & coordination exercises
Specialized tools to boost results

Each session builds on your progress, helping you rediscover the freedom of reliable bladder control.

Your Recovery Timeline

Most women begin noticing improvement within 3-4 sessions, with comprehensive results typically developing over 8-12 visits. Your personal progress depends on your specific condition and how consistently you practice your home exercises.
