Interstitial Cystitis
You're Not Crazy. Your Bladder Pain Is Real — and Treatable.
If you've been diagnosed with interstitial cystitis (or suspect you have it), you know the cycle: burning, urgency, frequency, and a medical system that often has no answers. Pelvic floor therapy is one of the most effective treatments for IC — and Lesley specializes in it.
Do You Recognize This?
Sound Familiar?
If any of these resonate, you're not imagining it — and you're not alone.
Bladder pain or pressure that worsens as your bladder fills
Urgency — feeling like you need to go constantly
Frequency — urinating far more often than normal, including at night
Pain during or after sex
Flare-ups triggered by stress, diet, or hormonal changes
Feeling dismissed by doctors who say tests look 'normal'
What You've Heard Before
Why Generic Care Falls Short
If any of these sound familiar, you've been underserved — not untreatable.
"Your tests look normal — there's nothing wrong."
IC doesn't always show up on standard tests. That doesn't mean your pain isn't real. A pelvic floor specialist understands the neuromuscular and myofascial components that standard testing misses.
"Try eliminating foods and managing stress."
Diet and stress management can help — but alone, they don't address the pelvic floor dysfunction that drives most IC symptoms. You need hands-on treatment, not just a list of foods to avoid.
"There's no cure for IC — just learn to manage it."
While IC is a chronic condition, many patients experience dramatic symptom reduction with pelvic floor therapy. 'Managing' doesn't have to mean suffering.

How Lesley Treats This
Interstitial cystitis is one of Lesley's areas of greatest expertise. She understands that IC involves the pelvic floor muscles, the nervous system, and often years of accumulated tension and guarding. Treatment addresses all of these layers.
Manual therapy targeting pelvic floor muscles, trigger points, and connective tissue restrictions
Myofascial release to reduce the chronic tension driving bladder symptoms
Nervous system downregulation techniques to interrupt the pain-tension cycle
Bladder retraining and urgency management strategies
