Interstitial Cystitis (Painful Bladder Syndrome)

Interstitial Cystitis (IC), also known as Bladder Pain Syndrome (BPS), is a chronic condition where the bladder lining becomes inflamed or irritated, leading to pelvic pain, bladder pressure, and severe urinary urgency and frequency. Many individuals with IC experience burning or discomfort when the bladder fills, frequent nighttime urination (nocturia), and pain during intercourse (dyspareunia). Certain foods, stress, and pelvic floor dysfunction can also contribute to symptom flare-ups.

At Built to Move Physical Therapy and Wellness, we specialize in pelvic floor physical therapy for interstitial cystitis to help manage chronic bladder pain, urinary urgency, and pelvic discomfort.

Through manual therapy, myofascial release, and pelvic floor relaxation techniques, we work to reduce muscular restrictions in the abdomen, pelvis, and pelvic floor, which can significantly alleviate symptoms.

If you’re struggling with bladder pain, frequent urination, or pelvic floor dysfunction, pelvic floor PT can help you regain bladder control and improve your quality of life. Contact us today to learn more about physical therapy for interstitial cystitis and start your journey to relief!
