• Exercises or relaxation of pelvic floor and associated muscles using biofeedback.
• Instruction in bladder/bowel optimization.
• Bladder re-training exercises and helpful lifestyle modifications for urinary leakage.
• Gentle internal/external hands-on techniques, as indicated, including stretching, soft tissue massage & joint mobilization.

What to Expect:

• An extensive review of your condition, including a client-centered comprehensive internal and external assessment as indicated.
• Evaluation of how the body, brain, environment and activity demands which cause over or under utilizing the pelvic floor and related muscle groups.
