Bladder and bowel
Bladder and bowel
Physical therapy for how your bladder, bowel and pelvic floor work together, at any age and whether or not you have had a baby. We start by listening, then look at your habits, your breathing, your posture and your pelvic floor.
This care is for you if
You leak urine when you cough, sneeze, lift or run
You rush to the bathroom, or go more often than you would like
You strain, or constipation is a regular part of your week
You wake at night to use the bathroom
What a visit looks like
What we do
Your therapist asks about your bathroom habits, what you eat and drink and what you have tried, and looks at how you breathe, sit and move. An internal exam is an option, never a requirement. You can say no, or stop at any time.
What decides how many visits
What your therapist finds, what you want to change and how your body responds. Your therapist talks it through with you and checks in as you go.
How it is paid for
You pay us directly. We send a written estimate before your first visit.
How fees work
- Chest pain, trouble breathing, a sudden severe headache or pain, new weakness or numbness, loss of bladder or bowel control, or a fall with a head injury needs emergency care now. Call 911.
Questions about this care
Should I see a physician first?
Blood in your urine or stool, or a sudden change in your bladder or bowel habits, is something to tell a physician first. We tell you when we think a physician should see you.
Is it all right to talk about this?
Yes. These are everyday questions for us, and you set the pace. You can use your own words.
Do I need a referral?
In Idaho, you can start without a referral. Your plan may still ask for one.
