Voiding Dysfunction Therapy in Pooler

Having Trouble Starting or Completing Urination? You’re Not Alone.
Urination shouldn’t feel delayed, strained, or incomplete. If your bladder doesn’t empty properly—or you constantly feel the urge to go—you might be dealing with voiding dysfunction.
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we help both women and men restore natural bladder control through focused pelvic floor therapy. No medications. No surgery. Just evidence-based care that gets to the root of the problem.
What Is Voiding Dysfunction?
Voiding dysfunction occurs when the bladder and pelvic floor muscles don’t coordinate properly. This can result in:
- Trouble starting the urine stream
- Feeling like your bladder doesn’t fully empty
- Weak or slow urine flow
- Frequent trips to the bathroom
- Urgency without relief
- Straining or pushing to urinate
- Post-void dribbling
These symptoms aren’t just inconvenient—they signal that something deeper is going on. We’re here to identify the cause and correct it.
Common Causes of Voiding Dysfunction
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, we look beyond the symptoms to understand the full picture. Bladder issues can be triggered by:
- Tight pelvic floor muscles that don’t relax during urination
- Nerve dysfunction due to injury, surgery, or childbirth
- Chronic constipation or excessive straining
- Post-surgical changes, such as after prostate or pelvic procedures
- Poor bladder habits developed over time
- Stress-related muscle tension
We take a whole-body approach to evaluate what’s disrupting your natural bladder function.
Our Approach to Voiding Dysfunction at Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness
At Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness, every treatment plan is personalized to address the specific factors contributing to voiding issues. The goal is to restore coordination between the pelvic floor and bladder, allowing for natural and complete urination—without pain or frustration.
Treatment may include:
- Pelvic floor muscle retraining to improve coordination and relaxation, not just strength
- Biofeedback therapy to enhance awareness and timing of pelvic muscle activity
- Toileting posture education for more effective and efficient emptying
- Bladder retraining techniques to reduce urgency and increase control
- Manual therapy to release muscle tension and reduce nerve sensitivity
- Behavioral strategies to eliminate habits that interfere with healthy voiding
Each session at Savannah Pelvic Health and Wellness is conducted in a supportive, private setting with a licensed pelvic health therapist—ensuring care that’s as effective as it is respectful.

FAQs: Voiding Dysfunction
Is this caused by a weak pelvic floor?
Not always. Many cases involve overactive or tight pelvic muscles that don’t relax properly. We assess your specific pattern before recommending treatment.
Will I need internal therapy?
Only when appropriate—and only with your full consent. Many cases are successfully treated using external techniques and behavioral changes.
How long before I see improvement?
Many people notice changes within 3–6 sessions, with continued progress through consistent therapy.

Success Stories & Testimonials

Very impressed with Dr. Jasmine Polk. She is incredibly knowledgeable and very kind and encouraging. I am hopeful to make the progress I need to after having the birth of my son.
Jenna Daugherty


Dr. Polk is an amazing therapist who incorporates an array of manual therapy techniques to help you heal your pelvic floor issues & get you back to its prior functions. If you’re pregnant and are in pain you NEED to see her ASAP. I went to her twice during my recent pregnancy. My last visit with her I was in so much pain and wasn’t due for another week. I could tell my belly dropped and I wasn’t in excruciating pain after seeing her. I went into labor the next day & birthed my baby two days after I saw her. All in all, a perfectly positive experience with Dr. Polk. 10/10 recommend!
Raquel Rodriguez


After years of issues and countless doctors who just prescribed medication for my symptoms, Dr. Polk is getting down to the root problem of my issues and explains everything in a way that I understand. She is someone who is passionate about what she does and truly cares about her patients. You won’t regret seeing her. I am just thankful someone recommended her to me.
