At PelviCare PT, we understand how important it is to have control of your bladder health. We are here to help you reclaim your confidence. If you are experiencing urinary urgency, frequency, leaking when you laugh or sneeze, or feel like you can never quite empty your bladder fully, you are not alone and there is support available.

We provide expert pelvic floor physical therapy in the Boulder area to address a wide range of bladder conditions in a compassionate and caring environment.

What Is Bladder Dysfunction?

Bladder dysfunction can affect people of all ages and genders, and often shows up in ways that interfere with daily life. A healthy bladder can comfortably hold urine for approximately 2-3 hours without urgency, fear of accidents, or discomfort. It should also allow you to laugh, cough, or exercise without worry of urinary incontinence.

If you are avoiding activities or always planning your day around the nearest restroom, it might be time to seek support. At our Boulder office, we offer a comprehensive and holistic approach to bladder dysfunction treatment with a focus on understanding the root causes and creating a personalized path forward.

How We Help

With every patient, we start with a thorough, one-on-one evaluation. We take the time to understand your medical history, daily habits, bladder symptoms, and the function of your pelvic floor muscles. We also take into account bio-psycho-social elements in our assessment. Stress factors and trauma can have a huge impact on Bladder Health.

Your treatment plan may include:

  • Pelvic floor muscle training and relaxation techniques

  • Vagus Nerve down-regulation techniques

  • Bladder retraining strategies

  • Education on posture, diet, and lifestyle

  • Manual therapy to address soft tissue or joint dysfunction

  • Behavior modifications to support long-term bladder health

  • A customized home exercise program to continue your progress between visits

Our goal is to help you feel confident, informed, and supported—every step of the way.
