Are you struggling with incontinence or other pelvic floor issues? You’re not alone. Many people face these challenges, and they can significantly impact your quality of life.

Understanding Pelvic Floor Issues

Pelvic floor issues can be both frustrating and debilitating. Whether it’s incontinence, prolapse, or other pelvic health concerns, these conditions can make everyday activities challenging. Our goal is to help you understand your condition, alleviate your symptoms, and prevent further complications.

What is Incontinence?

Incontinence is the loss of bladder control, which can range from minor leaks when you cough to severe cases where you can’t reach the toilet in time. Incontinence can be caused by weak pelvic floor muscles, tightness, or uncontrolled spasming. Physical therapy can help reduce the frequency and severity of your symptoms by strengthening your pelvic floor muscles.

What is Prolapse?

Pelvic organ prolapse (POP) occurs when pelvic organs drop from their normal position and press against the perineum due to weak pelvic floor muscles and support structures. Physical therapy can be highly effective in managing prolapse, reducing symptoms, and preventing the condition from worsening. In many cases, physical therapy may be a preferable alternative to surgery.

I was treated by Netherine for 3 months, and she is the only person who has been able to correct my posture AND alleviate my chronic back pain. She is extremely knowledgeable, patient, and has a great bedside manner during treatments! In addition to physical therapy, she also treated me with dry needling, and provided me with daily exercise routines! She’s amazing!

Don’t hesitate, run straight to her clinic! Best decision I ever made! Netherine is a very knowledgeable, experienced and compassionate Doctor of Physical Therapy. Her practice is very specialized (also the only one of its kind in this area) and I immediately felt very comfortable discussing, what some might call, very personal issues effecting body and therefore, my quality of life. Netherine provided me with the personalized treatment that has improved my life, my condition and my future outlook! I am truly grateful to have found her and transformed into my best self!
