Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. Incontinence can occur in stages varying from dribbling a small amount of urine, to complete bladder emptying. Millions of Americans suffer with this complaint, especially women whose pelvic floor has been challenged by vaginal childbirth. Both women and men of all ages can be affected. While the incidence of incontinence is high, it is not normal, and can be successfully treated. We have compassionate female physical therapists dedicated to the treatment of bowel and bladder dysfunction. We work with local physicians and OB-GYN’s to treat men and women with complaint of decreased bowel and/or bladder control. Our clinics offer a comfortable, private treatment atmosphere. Therapists work with patients one-on-one in partnership through interventions that result in a successful and often complete resolution of symptoms. We strive to equip patients with the information and skills necessary to permanently manage their problem. We understand that incontinence is often a source of embarrassment and discouragement.
