Bladder and Bowel Health
Having Trouble With "Bladder And Bowel Health" In The Marin Area.
A Message From Marci Silverberg
- Are you experiencing persistent bloating and constipation, despite trying numerous laxatives and stool softeners?
- Have you found no relief from rest and pills, and feel like your condition is worsening with age?
- Even with a high-fiber diet, are you not seeing any improvement?
- Are you hesitant to engage in workouts due to concerns about leakage?
- Perhaps these issues are affecting your work, family life, and social activities, leaving you searching for a lasting solution to lead a normal life.
If you responded “Yes” to any of these questions, you’ve come to the right place!
Many individuals needlessly suffer from constipation or urinary incontinence because they are given certain advice:
- Just "rest" and everything will be fine, but months later, accidents still occur.
- Just "eat more fiber" and it'll be fine, but even after months, they continue to suffer.
- Being a little leaky after childbirth or as you age is considered "normal."
- You must "do more Kegels" because your pelvic floor is weak.
However, the truth is:
- Increasing fiber intake doesn't necessarily address the issue for those with an overactive pelvic floor that isn't functioning correctly. In some cases, more fiber can even worsen constipation (which you might have already experienced!).
- Urinary incontinence after childbirth or with age is common, but it's not normal.
- Medication isn't the only solution, despite it being the only one offered by your medical provider.
- Kegels are not necessary for everyone; for some women, they can exacerbate leaking and urgency.
- There are alternative options beyond medication, surgery, or injections, but they might not have been presented by your medical provider.
"Our Mission Is To Assist Active Adults In Marin and Sonoma Counties Enabling Them To Swiftly And Securely Resume Their Beloved Hobbies And Activities, All Without Relying On Pain Medications Or Resorting To Surgery."
Deciding on the right course of action for chronic constipation and urinary issues can be incredibly perplexing.
You may have encountered various suggestions, such as
- drinking more water and consuming specific foods from a family member,
- taking pills prescribed by a urologist as suggested by a colleague,
- attempting yoga, stretches, and
- meditation from YouTube "experts," or
- joining a particular workout class,
- all while your doctor indicates that you might have to accept it as a part of your life.
With so many choices, it’s overwhelming, and the fear of making the wrong decision looms.
The abundance of options often leaves people feeling stuck, unable to decide on the next step. Consequently, they end up going days, weeks, months, or even years without taking any meaningful action.
When Dealing With Serious Issues Like Chronic Constipation Or Urinary Incontinence…
Selecting the right healthcare provider is crucial. Making the wrong choice could lead to unnecessary and risky surgeries or a lifetime reliance on ineffective pills that don’t address the root problem.
Choosing the “least invasive” and most natural treatment is essential for resolving bladder and bowel issues and preventing their recurrence. It’s not just about treating the symptoms and pain but finding a provider who is committed to understanding the underlying cause. This approach is the key to obtaining a permanent solution to the problem, ensuring long-lasting relief.
At Pelvic Path Physical Therapy, Where We Have Designed A Comprehensive 3-Step Process To Address Your Incontinence And Urgency Concerns And Ensure They Don't Resurface.
STEP #1 - YOUR STORY MATTERS
We understand the frustrations of our medical system – the long wait times for appointments, the rushed interactions with doctors leaving you bewildered about what just happened. Many pelvic floor physical therapy clinics operate similarly, lacking the attentiveness and time needed to conduct a thorough assessment and truly understand the severity of your condition.
That’s why our initial step revolves around giving you a voice. We recognize that each person is unique, with distinct body structures, medical histories, and experiences of leaking or urgency. Therefore, our priority is to engage in an open conversation, providing ample time for you to share your story. This approach allows us to gain a profound understanding of your physical condition and how it affects your life holistically.
STEP #2 - IDENTIFYING THE ROOT CAUSE OF URINARY INCONTINENCE AND URGENCY
Many individuals receive a diagnosis or medical term for their condition, whether from their doctor, test results, or online research. It could be identified as Stress Incontinence, Urge Incontinence, Mixed Incontinence, Urinary Frequency, or other labels.
You might have been advised to rest, take pills, perform Kegels, increase fiber intake, or consider surgery as potential solutions. While these approaches may provide temporary relief, they fail to address the underlying cause that initially triggered the issue.
At Pelvic Path Physical Therapy, our approach is different. We recognize that the cause of urinary incontinence or bowel issues varies from person to person. No two individuals have the exact same problem caused by the exact same factors.
Our primary objective is to determine the original cause of your leaking or urgency, enabling us not only to alleviate your incontinence but also to ensure it remains a thing of the past.
We understand that you may be skeptical or uncertain about whether physical therapy is the right approach for your pelvic pain. If you find yourself in this position, please don’t hesitate to reach out to us. We’d be delighted to discuss your concerns and determine if we are the best fit for your needs! Feel free to contact us below.
STEP #3 - SAY GOODBYE TO CONSTIPATION AND URGENCY & MAINTAIN LASTING RESULTS
This is the pivotal stage where significant transformations take place. We tailor a personalized plan for you, enabling you to:
…Experience more regular bowel movements, allowing you to enjoy work, home life, and social activities without being overwhelmed by concerns about your bathroom habits.
…Regain the freedom to cough, sneeze, laugh with friends, run errands, and exercise without the fear of urinary leakage or relying on pads “just in case.”
…Reclaim your ability to exercise and travel comfortably, free from persistent bloating or the constant urge to have a bowel movement with no results.
…Engage in activities with your children or grandchildren, return to your favorite workouts, and enjoy intimacy with your spouse without experiencing discomfort or abdominal pain.
…Embrace the active lifestyle you love, no longer worrying about exacerbating your condition in the future.
Our most successful clients are those who are motivated and eager to regain their active lifestyle, even if they currently feel stuck.

No need to give up the activities you love due to fixable problems.

I love that Pelvic Path combines Shockwave Therapy with their Physical Therapy. I am being seen for Pelvic Floor Physical therapy, and the shockwave has been an incredible addition to my plan. It doesn't hurt, is very fast, and helps me get results faster. If you are looking for Physical Therapy + shockwave therapy in Marin County or San Rafael, I would highly recommend Pelvic Path in San Rafael.Posted on Annie DearTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Dr. Caitlin has been such a great support during my postpartum recovery from my third child. She designed a great progressing program, always adjusted to where I personally was stronger/weaker, and set me up for a smooth process of returning to running. The at home workouts often took about 15-20 min, which made it possible to stay consistent even during a busy time. I’m ready to get back to competitive racing thanks to her support.Posted on Marangely SantiagoTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. I’m in my early 30s, and I felt like I should be in my prime but instead I was struggling in ways I didn’t fully understand. Intimacy was painful, I felt disconnected from my body, and it started to affect my confidence and emotional well-being more than I ever expected. Working with Dr. Caitlin has been truly life-changing. She is kind, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable, and she made me feel safe and supported from the very first session. She helped me understand that pelvic floor therapy isn’t just for postpartum recovery or injuries — lit’s for women at many stages of life. In just two sessions, I’ve already noticed real improvements, both physically and emotionally. I feel more connected to my body, more informed, and more hopeful. Dr. Caitlin has given me tools, insight, and reassurance that have made such a difference. If you’re a young woman struggling and feeling like something isn’t right, please know you’re not alone and this is your sign to seek pelvic floor therapy. I’m so grateful for Dr. Caitlin and can’t recommend her enough.Posted on Lori RichardsTrustindex verifies that the original source of the review is Google. Nicole and Marci are knowledgeable, warm, skilled, and a pleasure to work with. Their PT model takes a comprehensive approach to diagnosing and treating the body's distress in relation to lifestyle and goals. Every session has helped me with pelvic floor issues, neck issues, and other alignments I didn't even know were connected to my overall physical health. I leave the sessions feeling physically better than when I walked in. I also feel heard, understood, and equipped with exercises that continue my healing and my pain management goals. It goes beyond that. Working with Pelvic Path PT, I've come to understand how to care for my body as I advance in age.
