OSI is often the first conservative choice for men and women suffering with incontinence and pelvic pain, avoiding a treatment course that includes medication or surgery. Our specialized physical therapists have advanced training in the anatomy and the role of muscles and structures in and around the pelvis. These muscles work to support the bowel and bladder, stabilize posture during activities and assist in sexual activity. Problems with these muscles can result in pain, bowel and bladder difficulties, and can interfere with intimate relations.
