Bowel Health

Pelvic floor bowel issues involve the inability to properly coordinate pelvic floor muscles for defecation, leading to symptoms such as chronic constipation, straining, incomplete emptying, fecal incontinence, or even diarrhea. These symptoms can be frustrating and keep you from doing the things you love.

Common bowel issues that pelvic floor therapy can help with:

• Constipation

• Fecal leakage

• Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

• Painful hemorrhoids

• Colorectal conditions (i.e. Crohn’s disease, ulcerative colitis)

• Rectocele or enterocele

• Anal fissures or fistulas
