Hello Anon

Thank you for writing.

Physical therapists who specialize in this kind of therapy help a person to strengthen their pelvic floor muscles and teach their bodies how to control when they have bowel movements. They will also work to strengthen your sphincter muscle so a person has more control. These exercises will be explained at the start of therapy and charts and other information on to do this at home will also be provided.
Best,
Susan
