Pelvic Floor Therapy for Bladder Issues

in Woodbury, MN

Pelvic Floor Therapy for Bladder Control, Urgency, and Leakage

Bladder symptoms are incredibly common—but that doesn’t mean they’re something you just have to live with.

Many people struggle with leaking when they cough, sneeze, run, or jump. Others feel a constant the urge to use the bathroom, find themselves going “just in case,” bladder pain, or wake up multiple times during the night to urinate.

These symptoms can be frustrating, embarrassing, and disruptive to everyday life. But in many cases, they are highly treatable with pelvic floor physical therapy.

At Awake Pelvic Health & Wellness, we help you understand why these symptoms are happening and create a plan to restore confidence and control over your bladder.

Common Bladder Symptoms We Help With

Many bladder symptoms are related to how the pelvic floor muscles, core, brain, and bladder are working together.

We frequently help clients experiencing:

  • Urinary leakage when coughing, sneezing, laughing, or exercising

  • Frequent urination throughout the day

  • Strong urinary urgency or feeling like you can’t hold it

  • Waking up at night to urinate (nocturia)

  • Difficulty fully emptying the bladder

  • Bladder pressure or discomfort

  • Interstitial Cystitis

  • Leaking during pregnancy or postpartum

  • Bladder changes after prostate surgery (for men)

If you’ve been told bladder issues are just “part of aging,” postpartum recovery, or something you have to manage forever, there may be more options available than you realize.

Why Bladder Problems Happen

Bladder symptoms often develop when the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding systems are not working together the way they should.

Common contributing factors include:

  • pelvic floor muscle weakness

  • pelvic floor muscle tension or difficulty relaxing

  • pregnancy and postpartum changes

  • hormonal changes during perimenopause or menopause

  • past injuries that affect movement patterns

  • core weakness or coordination issues

  • habits that developed to compensate for symptoms

At Awake, we take time to understand how your body is functioning as a whole so we can identify the true drivers behind your symptoms.

What Makes Awake Different

Bladder symptoms often happen when the muscles that support your bladder aren’t working the way they should—sometimes they’re weak, sometimes they’re too tight, and sometimes they just need better support from the rest of the body.

In pelvic floor therapy, we help your body learn how to support your bladder again so you can feel more in control. Your visits may include:

  • learning how to properly relax and strengthen the pelvic floor

  • hands-on treatment to release tension in the pelvis, hips, or abdomen

  • simple exercises that support your core and pelvic floor

  • guidance to reduce leaking during daily activities and exercise

  • understanding habits that may be irritating your bladder

Our goal is not just to reduce symptoms, but to help you feel confident in your body again—whether that means running, lifting, laughing, or simply making it through the day without worrying about your bladder.

  • “After 3 c-sections in 2016, 2018 and 2020, I thought lower back, neck and shoulder pain was my new norm. After several specialists with my in network health insurance, I still had pain. So thankful my friend encouraged me to try Awake. Even though it’s been 9yrs since having my eldest, Dr. Annie and Dr. Laurel have been able to help with so much tension and scar tissue. They see you as a whole person and connect everything back together as it should work. Invest to feel better with this place! You won’t regret it. I was hesitant at first and now so thankful for their help.”

  • “Awake Pelvic Health is truly in a league of its own. I came to them seeking help for pelvic floor dysfunction BEFORE having children—something many people overlook, but I’ve learned firsthand how crucial it is to address pelvic health at any stage of life. Unlike other pelvic floor therapy experiences I’ve had, Awake takes a root-cause, top-down approach, looking at the entire body and nervous system, not just isolated symptoms. This approach has changed my life and the way I view my healing journey."
