If you've ever leaked urine when you coughed, laughed, sneezed, exercised, or felt a sudden urge to get to the bathroom, you're not alone. Urinary leakage affects millions of people of all ages, and while it's common, it's not something you simply have to live with. One of the most effective tools pelvic floor physical therapists use to help patients regain bladder control is biofeedback. If you've heard the term but aren't sure what it means—or if you're wondering whether it

If your child is dealing with bedwetting, daytime accidents, or frequent trips to the bathroom, it’s easy to focus only on the bladder. But here’s something many parents (and even providers) don’t realize: 👉 The bladder and bowels are closely connected—and constipation can impact all of it. Understanding this connection can be a turning point. It often explains why symptoms seem unrelated… and why some strategies haven’t worked long-term. How Are the Bladder and Bowels Conne

Bedwetting can feel like one of those parenting challenges that no one really prepares you for. If your child is waking up wet (especially past the age you expected them to be dry) you might be wondering: Is this normal? Are we missing something? Why is this still happening? First, it’s important to know: bedwetting (enuresis) is very common, and your child is not doing anything wrong. What Is Enuresis?

If you've ever wondered, "Why do I feel an urge to pee right after I just went?" you're not alone. This is one of the most common questions we hear in pelvic floor physical therapy, and it can be frustrating, confusing, and sometimes even a little alarming. The good news? While there are several possible causes, this sy

If you've been experiencing pain that starts in your low back or buttocks and travels down your leg, you may have been told it's sciatica. But what if your imaging looks normal, traditional treatments haven't helped, or you're also dealing with pelvic pain, bladder issues, or discomfort with sitting? The answer may surprise you: pelvic floor dysfunction can sometimes contribute to symptoms that closely resemble sciatica. At Bonneville Pelvic Health, we often see patients who

If your child is having stool accidents, especially if they’re older than potty training age, it can feel confusing, frustrating, and honestly… a little overwhelming. You might be wondering: “Why is this still happening?” “Are they doing this on purpose?” “How do I even fix this?” If this sounds familiar, you’re not alone. Encopresis (also called stool leakage or fecal incontinence) is more common than most families realize. And despite how it may look from the outside, these

If you're like many of our patients at Bonneville Pelvic Health, you've probably asked yourself: "Am I really going to have to exercise my pelvic floor muscles forever?" This idea might sound daunting at first—understandably so. But here's a better way to think about it: would you ever stop working your legs? Your core? Your arms? Probably not! Like any muscle group, the pelvic floor muscles require ongoing attention to remain strong, functional, and healthy. Understanding th
