Incontinence

At Ascent Rehabilitation, we understand the profound impact that urinary and fecal incontinence can have on daily life.
Incontinence — whether stress, urge, or mixed — is more than just a physical issue; it can affect emotional well-being, social interactions, and overall quality of life. At Ascent Rehabilitation, we believe in providing compassionate, comprehensive care to help individuals regain control, confidence, and freedom.

Why Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Matters

Pelvic floor physical therapy plays a critical role in the management and improvement of incontinence. Here's why addressing these concerns through physical therapy is essential:

Strengthening Pelvic Floor Muscles:
Research published in the Cochrane Database of Systematic Reviews highlights that pelvic floor muscle training is highly effective in treating stress urinary incontinence, often leading to significant improvement or complete resolution of symptoms (Dumoulin et al., 2018).

Improving Bladder and Bowel Control:
A study in the International Urogynecology Journal demonstrates that targeted physical therapy interventions can enhance the coordination and endurance of pelvic floor muscles, improving voluntary control over bladder and bowel functions (Hay-Smith et al., 2008).

Reducing the Need for Surgery:
According to findings published in Neurourology and Urodynamics, early intervention with pelvic floor therapy can decrease the likelihood of requiring surgical procedures for incontinence, offering a less invasive and highly effective option for many patients (Bo et al., 2017).

Enhancing Quality of Life:
Research in Physical Therapy Journal shows that individuals participating in pelvic floor rehabilitation report improvements in their physical, emotional, and social well-being, highlighting the far-reaching benefits of therapy beyond symptom management (Nygaard et al., 2008).
