Bowel & Bladder Pelvic Floor Therapy

At Rome Physical Therapy, we provide specialized care for all bowel and bladder concerns. These issues are incredibly common, but they are not something you have to live with.

We treat a wide range of bladder symptoms, including bladder leakage, urgency, frequency, incomplete emptying, interstitial cystitis, and recurrent UTIs, as well as bladder prolapse.

We also work with all types of bowel dysfunction, such as constipation, hemorrhoids, fissures, rectal bleeding, excessive wiping, bowel leakage, rectal prolapse, and rectal pain. These symptoms can be uncomfortable, frustrating, and disruptive—but they are highly treatable with the right pelvic floor therapy approach.

Pelvic floor therapy at Rome PT goes far beyond surface-level exercises. We perform a comprehensive assessment of all layers of the pelvic floor—both the outer, more superficial muscles and the deeper stabilizing muscles. We also evaluate the front of the pelvic floor, which supports the bladder and urethra, and the back of the pelvic floor, which supports the rectum.

Understanding how to properly activate, relax, and coordinate every part of the pelvic floor—front and back, outside and inside—is essential for restoring healthy bladder and bowel function.

This is exactly why Kegels alone don’t work for most people. Many individuals actually need a combination of relaxation, lengthening, strengthening, coordination training, and pelvic alignment—not just squeezing.

Our treatment plans are customized to address your specific symptoms, lifestyle, and goals. We help you reconnect to your pelvic floor, improve control and confidence, reduce pain, and restore normal bladder and bowel function.

At Rome PT, we’re here to help you feel comfortable, supported, and empowered in your daily life. You deserve to move, eat, laugh, sneeze, and live without worrying about leakage or pain. Let’s get you there—together.
