Bowel Health: One of the Most Common Concerns, and Most Treatable
Constipation, urgency, leakage, or the frustration of a body that won't cooperate? These are more common than anyone says out loud, and there's a lot we can do to help.
WHAT IS PELVIC FLOOR THERAPY FOR BOWEL HEALTH?
Healthy bowel function depends on coordination between your brain, your pelvic floor, and the muscles that control elimination. When that communication is off, you can experience constipation, straining, urgency, or leakage.
Through education, breathing strategies, pelvic floor retraining, toileting mechanics, and lifestyle changes, we help restore healthy habits and confidence. For some clients, gentle intrarectal balloon training is recommended — an evidence-based way to retrain the communication between the brain, rectum, and pelvic floor muscles, improving sensation, coordination, and the body's natural urge.
