Constipation, straining, incomplete emptying, or feeling like you need to go *again* right after—none of these are things you just have to deal with.
Your pelvic floor plays a major role in how your body moves stool out. If the muscles aren’t coordinating well, you might be pushing too hard, holding without meaning to, or missing the signal altogether.
Here’s what *healthy* bowel function looks like:
✅ At least 3x a week | soft & formed bowel movements
✅ No straining, urgency, or pain
✅ Feeling fully empty after going
✅ No stool leakage or frequent wiping
If that doesn’t sound like your current normal, pelvic floor occupational therapy can help.
We look at your habits, posture, pelvic coordination, scar tissue, and daily life demands to build a plan that works with *your* body.
