If you’re suffering from urinary frequency and burning that feels like you might have a bladder infection but antibiotics don’t seem to make it better OR you have pelvic pain and pressure that keeps you from living your life, you may be one of the 12 million Americans suffering from a condition called Painful Bladder Syndrome or Interstitial Cystitis.

There’s no obvious reason why it happened - but it doesn’t seem to be getting better—despite taking antibiotics or pain killers!

If that’s happening to you, you’re not alone - and we hear this type of thing all the time. In fact, Bladder Painful Syndrome (BPS) is a condition that we are expert in helping you learn to manage.

And when it comes to living with Interstitial Cystitis (IC), everybody we see wants to know

“Why is This Bladder Pain Happening to Me?”...

Most women think, I have burning pain and frequency, I must have a UTI. But antibiotics don’t help and then tests come back showing no infection at all. Other women suffer from life-stopping pelvic pain and pressure—that literally leaves them unable to get up and take care of themselves.

In the past, women were told it’s all in your head…you’re hysterical…

But now, women are being diagnosed sooner and getting the help they deserve to manage this chronic condition.

Does That Sound Like You?

Another scenario we see all the time in our physical therapy clinic is when women are given information about managing IC/PBS which includes a LOT of information about “self-care”.

But when you are in pain, it’s hard to know where to start

and it seems like too much

It’s overwhelming

And women, become more frustrated, sad, angry—wanting someone to guide them and tell them what to do.

Has This Type of Thing Happened to You?

How can I sleep when I have to pee several times an hour?

My co-workers don’t believe me when I tell them I am in pain…I look “normal” to them.

And there’s lots of people out there who are happy to dispense advice - but not all of it is credible.

Have you heard:

You’re just uptight, you need to relax?
Try drinking less coffee?
Exercise more?
Exercise less?

If you don’t know what you’re doing – living with IC/BPS can be very confusing and because of this, many women just end up accepting it as ‘part of life’ - as if it’s normal, and ‘just the way it is’.

Do You Feel That Way Too?

If You’re Currently Living Bladder Pain Syndrome, Here’s 7 More Reasons Why It Could Be Lasting Longer Than It Should:

You thought bladder pain would go away on its own - but it didn’t.
You went to the Doctor who told you to rest and take antibiotics - but the pills did nothing to help your bladder pain.
A family member, or friend, told you that the doctors aren’t finding anything “wrong” so you should just accept it.
You tried other healthcare professionals, or a physical therapist in the past, but nothing they said or did seemed to help.
You tried YouTube exercises but they either didn’t do a thing, or made your pelvic pain ten times worse.
You thought it would be a good idea to rest because you pain was so bad, but all that did was make it feel even more stiff and tight.
You decided to get a few “massages” hoping that would fix the pain, but all they did was feel nice and relaxing, and didn’t do anything to fix it long term…

If any of these have happened to you - we would love to help you by inviting you to book a call to talk with one of our physical therapists to find out what can be done to help you. The fact that you’ve tried any or all of these things already is actually a GOOD THING because when you know what doesn’t work - you are closer to finding the thing that does!

“What Can I Do to Manage MY Pelvic and Bladder Pain Quickly?”...

Well, here's 4 things you can do:

First off, you need to make a decision about getting help. So many people procrastinate for so long, hoping that the pain will ‘just go away with time’, but then 6 months down the line they’re still putting up with it, and nothing’s changed… Or it gets worse
Next, do the RIGHT exercises - one of the best things to help you ease your pelvic pain is to do the right series of progressed exercises - the right exercises given to you by a physical therapist will help reduce pain, and allow you to move freely.
Avoid sitting and long periods of rest - ever tried to get up from the sofa after resting for a while, but you struggle because your pelvis feels so painful and tight? That’s because one of the worst things you can do that adds to pelvic pain is rest, and sitting for long periods of time. Too much rest, and sitting in awkward positions makes your pelvis stiff and tight. It would really help if you were given appropriate strengthening exercises for better posture, alongside hands-on treatment, to get you active and healthy as quickly as possible.

Lynda C.

"Nancy has been a change agent for me. She taught me about the important relationship between the urinary tract and bowels and that helping one improves the health of the other. She taught me exercises which I do daily to improve my need to constantly urinate. Nancy is extraordinarily gentle and effective."

Kate R.

"Nancy is very compassionate about your pain, and is very skilled at releasing painful muscle and myofascial issues. I have had a lot of recurring problems with my SI Joint and pelvic muscles and Nancy has always been willing to keep working on those areas until the pain is resolved."

Rachel M.

I haven't looked back since I was referred to Nancy by another physical therapist who said she was the best around for my “gut issues”. She was absolutely right - following rectal cancer and the attendant surgeries, my gut has struggled to behave consistently. Nancy has helped me immeasurably, her visits keeping my abdomen on an even keel.
