Incontinence, whether it be bladder or bowel, can be embarrassing and difficult to deal with. Some people think that it is just a normal part of life once you reach a certain age or after you have children. While it is common, it is not normal and it is not something that you should have to continue to deal with. Our Physical Therapists are highly trained to recognize and treat a wide array of symptoms associated with Incontinence and are passionate about helping clients find successful results.

There are different forms of incontinence and there can be several reasons that it is occurring. Some incontinence is more urge related which can go back to habits or the way we have trained our bodies. Other incontinence could be more stress related and be tied to coordination deficits of the pelvic floor and core muscles. Sometimes it can be both!

Your first visit with Fitness Matters Westerville will focus on identifying the factors contributing to your incontinence and discussing strategies to mitigate it. You can feel at ease discussing these sensitive matters in a private space and completely one on one with your Physical Therapist.
