Are You Struggling With "Bladder and Bowel Health" In The Asheville, NC Area?
“Have You Tried Everything To Help Bladder and Bowel Health And Nothing Seems To Help”
Don’t sacrifice the lifestyle you desire over problems that can be fixed.
A Message From Pelvic Health Specialists, Dr. Lindsay and Dr. Kari
- Are you worried about bloating and constipation that doesn’t go away no matter how many laxatives and stool softeners you take?
- Are you frustrated that rest and pills haven’t worked and things seem to be getting worse as you age?
- Are you frustrated that you eat A TON of fiber with no results?
- Are you holding back during your workouts because you’re afraid of leaking? (...or worse, you aren’t working out at all?!)
- Are you having trouble keeping up with work and family activities and you’re missing out on your social life because you’re so consumed by your bowel and bladder habits?
- Have you seen a specialist and you’re STILL looking for a long-term solution so you can live your life like everyone else?
- Just “rest” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still having accidents…)
- Just “eat more fiber” and it’ll be fine (then months later they’re still suffering…)
- Peeing your pants a little is “normal” after having babies or as you get older.
- You just need to “do more Kegels” because your pelvic floor must be weak.
- If you take some stool softeners everything will be fine.
The Truth Is...
- Eating more fiber doesn’t change anything if you have an overactive pelvic floor that’s just not working like it should. Sure, you might get a small, temporary relief but for some people eating more fiber ACTUALLY makes their constipation WORSE. (I bet you’ve already experienced this!)
- Although it’s common, it's not normal to have urinary incontinence after having babies or as you get older!
- Medication is not the only option. It’s just the only option your medical provider may have offered you.
- Not everyone NEEDS Kegels; in fact, for some women, doing Kegels can make leaking and urgency worse.
- Medication, surgery, or injection is not the only option. It’s just the only option your medical provider may have offered you.

Wondering if Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy is right for you?
We know that when it comes to experiencing pelvic floor problems and dysfunction, it can be difficult to know what the right choice is in finding relief.
Let us help you by taking our Pelvic Floor Physical Therapy Pop Quiz to see if PT is the right decision for you!
- A family member tells you to drink more water and eat certain foods.
- A colleague mentions going to a urologist and getting some pills.
- The “experts” on YouTube recommend yoga, stretches, and meditation.
- A friend suggests going to a certain workout class.
- All while the doctor tells you may just have to live with it.
It’s overwhelming to try to make a decision with all these choices… what will happen if you don’t make the right one?
Most people get stuck trying to make a decision about what to do next. They go days, weeks, months (even years!) without taking action.
When It Comes To Solving Something Serious Like Chronic Constipation Or Urinary Incontinence…
You must choose the right provider for your health. If you don’t, you could end up getting a dangerous surgery (when it was unnecessary) or being dependent on pills for the rest of your life (that don’t do anything to actually SOLVE the issue).
Getting the “least-invasive,” most natural treatment is VITAL to you stopping your bladder and bowel issues and keeping it from ever coming back. To do that, you have to not just treat the irregularity and pain that comes with it, but have a provider who is willing to figure out why it started in the first place. That’s when you’ll get a PERMANENT solution to your problem.
At WildHawk Physical Therapy we’ve created a 3 step process to get rid of your incontinence and urgency AND make sure it doesn’t come back again.
Step #1 - We Want To Listen To Your Story
Our medical system is frustrating. You wait weeks, sometimes months, for an appointment, only to get to talk to the doctors for 10 minutes before they have to run to the next patient and you’re left sitting there wondering, “What just happened?”
Even most pelvic floor physical therapy clinics operate this way. They’re not attentive, they’re fast-paced, and your therapist doesn’t have time to actually check everything out and do a thorough assessment to know exactly how bad things have gotten and what to do about SOLVING your problem.
This is why our first step is to listen to your story.
After working with lots of women with urinary incontinence and bowel issues, we know that no two people are alike. Each person has a different body, a different history, and different types of leaking or urgency.
That is why our first step is to have an open conversation and time for you to tell your story. That way we get a deep understanding of what’s going on, not just with your body, but also how it’s impacting your life.
STEP #2 - FIND OUT WHY URINARY INCONTINENCE AND URGENCY STARTED
Many people have a diagnosis or medical term for what’s going on with their bodies. Maybe their doctor gave it to them, maybe tests showed the diagnosis, or maybe you found it online. It could be Stress Incontinence, Urge Incontinence, Mixed Incontinence, Urinary Frequency, or something else.
You could have been told that your only choice was to rest, take pills, do some Kegels, up your fiber intake or get surgery.
Sometimes, those things bring temporary relief, but they’re not addressing what CAUSED the problem in the first place.
Every person’s cause of urinary incontinence or bowel issues is different. No one has the exact same problem caused by the exact same thing as another person.
Our goal at WildHawk Physical Therapy is to find the original cause of your leaking or urgency, so not only does your incontinence go away, it STAYS AWAY!
We understand that you might be skeptical or unsure if physical therapy is the right treatment for your pelvic pain. If that’s you, feel free to give us a call below. We’d love to talk about your concerns and see if we’re the best fit for you!
