​Pelvic floor therapy can help women and men of all ages with bowel and bladder issues and those with pelvic pain. In the clinic, we see new moms and moms to-be-that may have incontinence issues, pain or who want to increase their strength to get back into their pre-baby activities. Men post prostatectomy, with pelvic pain or erectile dysfunction issues can also benefit.
