Regaining Control: Pelvic Floor Help for Incontinence in La Crosse
Living with urinary or fecal incontinence can feel frustrating, isolating, and downright embarrassing. But you don’t have to suffer in silence anymore. At O’Brien Physical Therapy & Wellness, our team of highly trained pelvic health specialists is dedicated to helping women resolve bladder and bowel control issues once and for all through individualized pelvic floor physical therapy.
A Personalized Approach to a Private Problem
During your initial one-on-one consultation, your therapist will conduct a detailed assessment to pinpoint the cause of your symptoms, taking into account factors like pregnancy, childbirth, menopause, chronic conditions, past surgeries, and more. They’ll then design a customized treatment plan leveraging techniques like:
- Manual therapy to improve muscle coordination, downregulate tight areas, and strengthen weak spots
- Neuromuscular re-education utilizing biofeedback and/or electrical stimulation
- Therapeutic exercises promoting core stability, perineal mobility, and improved bladder/bowel control
- Stress management coaching and relaxation techniques
Pelvic Floor Therapy for Incontinence
Pelvic floor therapy boasts an excellent track record for resolving or significantly improving urinary and fecal incontinence without drugs or surgery. Studies show nearly 80% of women experience considerable relief of symptoms with physical therapy as the primary intervention. What’s more, the techniques you learn through therapy provide lifelong benefits you can lean on during future pregnancies, menopause, and beyond.
If you’ve tried Kegel exercises without success, know that pelvic floor therapy is far more advanced, precise, and effective. We utilize state-of-the-art assessment and biofeedback tools paired with manual therapy only specialized pelvic health PTs can provide. This enables us to give you the most accurate, quantitative feedback possible as you learn to properly activate specific muscles. We also tailor the strengthening regimen to your precise impairment and functional deficits for optimal outcomes.

“The team at O’Brien Physical Therapy is knowledgeable, empathetic, and go above and beyond to ensure they are providing exceptional care. I am an active woman in my 40’s – I run about 30 miles a week, bike, and lift weight. I have seen Chelsea and Jill for a variety of things including pelvic health, physical therapy for aches and pains related to running, shoulder and back pain, and runner’s boot camp. Each one goes the extra mile to ensure they understand what my needs are and help me achieve my health goals. I feel so comfortable with anyone at OPT, knowing I will be cared for and able to still do the things I love and remain healthy.”
