Bladder spasms, discomfort and leaking urine?
Have you been told you have interstitial cystitis or painful bladder syndrome? Do you leak urine when sneezing, coughing, or laughing? Do you feel like you have to pee all the time and have strong urges and bladder spasms?
These symptoms are common and you can get relief!
What causes bladder discomfort?
The pelvic muscles and all the muscles and joints for your posture support your bladder and the pelvic floor helps to control the sphincters to pee. If these muscles are too tight or they lack enough endurance, then you may leak pee. Tight pelvic floor muscles can also pull on the urethra and irritate it, creating false sensations of the urge to urinate and even creating false feelings of a urinary tract infection. Tight muscles decrease blood flow, which irritates nerves. This is why you may also experience bladder pain and/or urethral irritation.
Common bladder symptoms that we treat:
burning sensation after urination but no infection
leaking urine after peeing
“Why do I feel like I have to pee after I already peed?”

No more peeing when sneezing!
Go beyond “kegels.” Healthy pelvic floor muscles have power, endurance, coordination, and can fully relax and stretch. People get relief from their symptoms when their muscles are healthy. Get the specialized guidance on how to specifically improve YOUR pelvic health.

Are you leaking urine?
Urinary incontinence is the involuntary loss of urine. Any loss, whether is it full bladder leakage or “just dribbles” is considered incontinence. Consider consulting with a pelvic physical therapist for any involuntary loss of urine. Urinary incontinence is a leading diagnosis that strips the elderly of their independence. You may leak urine during impact like sneezing or running. You may leak urine when you are RUNNING to the bathroom because the urge is so STRONG. If you are pregnant and leaking urine, we encourage you to reach out to a pelvic PT because you are at a higher risk for leaking urine later in life.
