Urinary Retention Therapy in Pooler

Struggling to Fully Empty Your Bladder? You’re Not Alone—And We Can Help.

Do you find yourself sitting on the toilet for far too long, only to feel like you still haven’t gone completely? Is your urine stream weak, slow to start, or interrupted—leaving you feeling frustrated and uncomfortable?

These symptoms aren’t just inconvenient—they may signal a deeper issue within your pelvic floor or nervous system.

At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we specialize in helping both men and women in Pooler resolve urinary retention naturally, using expert pelvic floor therapy that addresses the root cause—without medications or surgery.

What Is Urinary Retention?

Urinary retention is the inability to fully empty your bladder. It may occur suddenly or develop gradually over time, and if left untreated, it can become more than just an annoyance—it can affect your overall health.
Common signs include:

• A persistent feeling that your bladder isn’t empty
• Slow or weak urine stream
• Trouble starting to urinate
• Frequent urination with small output
• Pressure or discomfort in the lower abdomen
• Needing to push or strain to urinate
• Dribbling after urination
• Urge to go again soon after finishing

What Causes Urinary Retention?

Many cases stem from tight or uncoordinated pelvic floor muscles, nerve dysfunction, or other physical imbalances that interfere with proper bladder emptying.
Common causes we treat include:

• Pelvic floor muscle overactivity or tension
• Recovery from childbirth or C-section
• Surgical procedures (like hysterectomy or prostate surgery)
• Neurological conditions (e.g., spinal cord injuries, MS)
• Muscle-related bladder outlet obstruction
• Prostate dysfunction (in men)
• Functional or trauma-related urinary issues
• Side effects from medication or catheterization

At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we begin with a thorough pelvic floor and neuromuscular assessment to uncover the true source of your symptoms.

Our Proven Approach to Urinary Retention

Our treatment focuses on restoring your bladder’s natural ability to empty by relaxing and retraining your pelvic floor and improving neuromuscular function.
Your therapy plan may include:

• Gentle internal and external manual therapy
• Pelvic floor down-training to release muscle tension
• Biofeedback to improve coordination and relaxation
• Breathwork and core stabilization
• Bladder retraining strategies
• Electrical stimulation, if appropriate
• Education on posture, bathroom habits, and hydration

Whether you’re navigating postpartum recovery, managing neurological challenges, or unsure why your bladder isn’t cooperating—we build a personalized plan that works.

When Should You Seek Help?

You may benefit from pelvic therapy if you’re experiencing:
Frequent urination (more than 8 times per day) with small amounts

• Feeling like you never completely empty your bladder
• Straining or hesitating to start urine flow
• Needing to urinate again soon after finishing
• Nighttime urination more than twice
• Postpartum or post-surgical bladder dysfunction
• A history of catheter use or frequent UTIs

Urinary retention is not a normal part of aging—and it typically doesn’t resolve on its own. Early treatment helps you avoid complications like infections or long-term bladder issues.
