Missing Life’s Moments

“Could not recommend ITR enough!! Working with Lauren was fantastic— my pain diminished so much & I’ve learned things that I’ll take with me forever. I feel so much better & I’m so thankful for this experience“
Callie Colvin
“I hurt my back lifting weights and could barely move. After 1 visit with ITR, where I was treated by Terry, she taught me what exercises to do, and exactly how to do them. Within a week, I was able to do so much more and my pain decreased over time. I highly recommend ITR for anyone who wants PT pro who listens to them, addresses their concerns in a friendly and judgement free environment.“

Frequently Asked Questions
About Urinary Incontinence Treatment Near Me
Does pelvic floor physical therapy hurt?
No, pelvic floor physical therapy should not be painful. Our therapists use gentle manual techniques and work at your comfort level. You’re always in control, and we prioritize creating a safe, comfortable environment. Many patients actually experience immediate relief during their first session.
Do I need a referral to receive urinary incontinence treatment?
Virginia allows direct access to physical therapy, which means you don’t need a physician’s referral to start treatment. However, we recommend checking with your insurance provider, as some plans may require a referral for coverage purposes. We’re happy to help you navigate insurance questions.
How long will it take to see improvement in my bladder control?
Many patients notice improvements within 3-6 sessions, though treatment length varies based on the severity and type of incontinence. Our one-on-one, hour-long sessions allow for comprehensive treatment and education, helping you achieve faster, more sustainable results than traditional physical therapy.
What should I expect during my first visit?
Your initial evaluation includes a comprehensive discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and goals, followed by a thorough physical assessment. We’ll explain all examination procedures beforehand and only proceed with your consent. You’ll leave with a clear understanding of your condition and a personalized treatment plan.
Can pelvic floor PT help if I’ve had incontinence for years?
Absolutely. It’s never too late to seek treatment. Whether you’ve experienced incontinence for months or decades, our specialized therapists can help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles, improve bladder control, and address underlying dysfunction. We’ve successfully treated patients of all ages with long-standing symptoms.
Will I need to do exercises at home?
Yes, home exercises are an important component of successful treatment. However, we’ll ensure you understand exactly how to perform them correctly—many people do Kegel exercises incorrectly, which is why you may not have seen results in the past. We provide clear instructions and modifications tailored to your specific needs.
