Keeping A Record Of Your Bladder Function

HOW TO KEEP YOUR BLADDER DIARY 
The main purpose of the bladder diary is to document how your bladder functions. A diary can give your health care provider an excellent picture of your bladder functions, habits and patterns. The diary is first used as an evaluation tool. Later, it is used to measure your progress. Please complete a bladder diary every day for 2 day and bring it with you to your appointment. 

In the beginning, continue to go about your diary life as normal.You are making a written record of your normal bladder patterns so please avoid making any changes in your bladder routines. Your diary will be much more accurate if you fill it out as you go through the day. It can be very difficult to remember at the end of the day exactly what happened in the morning. The diary plays an important part in your health care provider’s ability to understand your problem and should not be taken lightly.

Also, if possible , remember to change your pad or clothing whenever you feel yourself leaking or notice that you are damp. A dry pad or pair of underwear will increase your awareness or problems  and improve the accuracy of your record.

Pelvic Floor Therapy For Men

Pelvic Floor Therapy Is For Men Too!

Pelvic floor physical therapy was, historically, prescribed for women who, after a few pregnancies, tend to leak urine.

But men can leak, too, especially after surgery for prostate cancer. Men can also suffer from chronic pelvic pain. Physical therapy specific to the pelvic floor muscles can provide relief.

Two of the main symptoms that men would seek out pelvic floor physical therapy are incontinence (inability to control urination) and pelvic pain.

Incontinence typically stems from problems with a man’s prostate gland. If he has an enlarged prostate (common condition as men age) the prostate can pinch the urethra. Then the bladder has to work harder to push urine out when it needs to empty, the bladder muscles thicken and become overactive. The result: leaking urine.

Men who have had surgery for prostate cancer will most likely have incontinence, at least temporarily, after their surgery.  Men who receive radiation therapy for prostate cancer may also experience incontinence.

Chronic, ongoing pelvic pain can come from the bladder, rectum or prostate. Pain tends to make muscles tighten up, like a constant cramp, and this becomes an uncomfortable cycle: pain leads to muscle tension, which causes more pain.

If you are experiencing any of these symptoms or have questions, please contact our office for more information and/or  to schedule your pelvic floor assessment today!

Have a blessed day

By Sabina Kapasi Pregnancy

Postnatal Pelvic Floor Therapy

Following the arrival of a new, precious baby, concerns often arise that surround the health of the infant.  Unfortunately, little attention is given to the mother with respect to her muscles that surround her pelvic floor which are now stretched. As a result, she may experience postpartum incontinence. Pelvic Floor Therapy plays an important and crucial role with postnatal health and wellness.  

Stress incontinence, which is the most common type of incontinence, is a prevalent problem occurring after childbirth.  This is because the sphincter muscles controlling urine discharge  incur some damage which can cause urine discharge with minor movement.  Pelvic floor therapists help postpartum women who are experiencing this problem by assigning exercises that help bring the muscles surrounding the pelvic floor back under control.  If you’re experiencing postpartum incontinence, please contact our office for more information and schedule your pelvic floor assessment today at 864-534-1780!

Children and Bedwetting

Sadly, bed-wetting in the United States is a common problem among children that affects 5 million kids.  If your child suffers from this problem do not fear! His Therapy is here to help and will walk beside you to resolve this embarrassing problem your child may experience.  His Therapy creates a fun, motivating, and exciting treatment plan that educates, councils, encourages, and offers biofeedback.  Biofeedback traces the contraction and relaxation of the muscles that surround the pelvic floor using electromyography (EMG). Pelvic physical therapy has been shown to be an effective treatment method for those struggling with bed-wetting.  We would love to answer any questions that you may have, so for more information or to schedule an appointment, call His Therapy at 864-534-1780 today!

Develop Your Gift

….daily devotional by Joyce Meyer
We can’t wait to share with you where God is leading His Therapy.
Stay tuned for our new beginnings Dec. 1st!

If we don’t develop our potential it won’t get developed, because no one else can do it for us.  Find out what you want to do and begin to train yourself for it.  If you know you can write great songs, develop your gift; arrange your life so you can write songs.  If you know you can lead worship, then practice, learn music, sing with all your mind and heart, and believe.  Begin leading worship, even if you start with only you and the cat or you and your children.  If you know you have a talent for business, an ability to make money, then study, pray, go to school and STEP OUT!

Whatever your gift and calling, entrust it to the Lord and be relentless in pursuit of reaching your full potential.  In some way we should improve ourselves every day.  We should go forward, letting go of what lies behind, including past mistakes and past victories.  Even hanging on to the glory of past victories can prevent us from being all God wants us to be in the future.  Never be satisfied with being anything less than all you can be.  

Prayer:  Lord I recognize that I am responsible to develop and use the talents You have
placed within me.  Give me wisdom on the best way to go about it.  Amen!
