Do you leak urine when you laugh, cough, jump, move quickly, or sneeze?
Do you experience constipation?
Do you have issues with controlling your bowel and bladder function?
Do you experience pain with intercourse? Do have pain in your pelvic region during daily activities?
If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may benefit from pelvic health therapy, available at our Orthopedic & Sports Medicine physical therapy locations in Morris and Ottawa.
When you’re dealing with issues like bladder leaks, pelvic pain, or core weakness, pelvic floor physical therapy can be life-changing. We treat the root cause, not just the symptoms, so you can get back to living confidently and comfortably.

What can I expect during therapy?
We offer personalized, one-on-one physical therapy sessions in a private setting tailored to our patient’s symptoms and health goals. Our team includes clinicians with many years of physical therapy experience who have been trained specifically in pelvic health rehabilitation through the Herman and Wallace Institute.
Our specially trained physical therapists use a specialized, evidence-based approach that helps retrain the deep muscles supporting the bladder, bowel, and sexual health. Therapy addresses dysfunction in these areas through the utilization of manual therapies, functional retraining activities, modalities, therapeutic exercises, and education to address dysfunctions in these areas. This can include internal and external interventions.
