Better Bladder & Bowel Health
Pelvic floor therapy is often recommended for bladder leaks, but many women still have questions before they feel ready to take that next step.

Questions like:

Will it be awkward?
What actually happens during a visit?
Can it help if I leak when I exercise?
How long does it take to work?
What if I’ve already tried Kegels and they didn’t help?

These are exactly the kinds of questions we explore in NAFC’s Pelvic Floor Power Podcast Series, created in partnership with the Urology Care Foundation and Virginia Mason Franciscan Health.

Each episode focuses on a different part of the pelvic floor therapy journey:

Episode 1: Do All Women Pee When They Sneeze?

A helpful introduction to bladder leaks, why they happen, and what treatment options are available.

Episode 2: Do You Really Need A Pelvic Floor Therapist?

A closer look at what pelvic floor physical therapists do, why specialized training matters, and what women can expect during therapy.

 

Episode 3: Why Does My Pelvic Floor Need Time On My Calendar Too?

A practical conversation about consistency, realistic expectations, and making pelvic floor health a regular priority.

Episode 4: How Do I Return To Fitness With Urine Leaks?

A reassuring discussion about exercise, movement, and why leaking during workouts is not a personal failure.

Episode 5: Leaking The Truth About Pelvic Floor Muscle Training: A Patient’s Voice

An honest patient story about starting pelvic floor PT, staying with it, and noticing progress over time.
