- Men: Bladder, bowel, rectum, and urethra
What is Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
If your pelvic floor muscles are weak or not functioning correctly, you may experience symptoms such as:
- Constipation

What is Pelvic Floor Rehabilitation?
Our specially-trained physical therapists evaluate your muscle strength, identify which muscles to target and develop a personalized therapy program to help you strengthen them.

- Biofeedback
- Breathing exercises
