In this episode of IC You, I sit down with pelvic floor physical therapist and chronic pelvic pain coach Rachel Gofman to talk about bladder retraining, pelvic floor dysfunction, prolapse, and the connection between the nervous system and bladder symptoms.
We discuss why urgency and frequency can persist even when your bladder isn't full, how "just in case" peeing can impact bladder function, and practical strategies to retrain your bladder with less fear and frustration.
Rachel also explains prolapse, when pelvic floor physical therapy can help, and how to approach healing through both a mind-body and physical therapy lens.
If you've ever felt stuck between pelvic floor dysfunction, nervous system dysregulation, and chronic bladder symptoms, this conversation will help you better understand what's happening in your body and what recovery can look like.
