Our team provides treatment for pelvic floor disorders to reduce or eliminate bothersome symptoms using the least invasive approach. Your goals, the severity of your condition and your general health define the individualized therapy. Treatment may include:
Dietary modifications
Dietary modifications can include monitoring and adjusting your diet to fulfill your health needs.
Pelvic floor muscle training
Strengthening your pelvic floor muscles can help urinary incontinence and treat pelvic organ prolapse.
Biofeedback
Biofeedback is the process of gaining greater awareness of many physiological functions of one's own body, with or without using electronic or other instruments, and with a goal of being able to manipulate the body's systems at will.
Behavioral modifications
Replace undesirable and unproductive actions, thoughts, and behaviors with more desirable ones, leading to better results and outcomes within your life.
Vaginal support device (pessary)
A pessary is a soft, flexible device that is placed in the vagina to help support the bladder, vagina, uterus, and/or rectum. Pessaries are made in many different shapes and sizes. A pessary is a non-surgical way to treat pelvic organ prolapse and sometimes incontinence.
What Are Pelvic Floor Disorders?
When childbirth or other circumstances weaken or damage the pelvic floor, the pelvic organs, including the bladder, vagina and bowel, can be greatly impacted. Pelvic floor disorders include:
Incontinence
Incontinence: loss of bladder or bowel control, leakage of urine or feces. Incontinence can be more than a physical problem. It can disrupt your quality of life if it's not managed well.
Prolapse
Prolapse: descent or falling of either the bladder, uterus, or rectum. The drop of these pelvic organs is 0ften noted as a bulge or feeling of pressure or falling out. The bulge resulting from this pressure may be felt or seen.
Emptying disorders
Emptying disorders: difficulty urinating or moving bowels. When the bladder has a hard time emptying like it should, more urine is made than it can hold, and results in overflow incontinence.
Constipation can also be the cause or result of pelvic floor dysfunction.
Pain
Pain: discomfort in the lower back, pelvis, bladder and/or urethra. Several different bladder and pelvic floor problems can cause pain. Pain should be treated so it does not cause more health and quality of life issues.
Overactive bladder
Frequent need to void, This could be due to bladder pressure, urgency, or urge incontinence (an inability to overcome the urge to urinate, resulting in leaking).
Waking more than once a night, or going to the bathroom during the day more than every two hours indicates pelvic floor dysfunction.

One of my goals has been to get back to high impact exercise like running, and I’m successfully running without pain during or after and my bladder leaks are gone. If you are in need of a pelvic floor PT (or any PT) I HIGHLY recommend Dr. Jen.
