Pediatric Pelvic Floor Therapy
What is Pediatric Pelvic Floor Therapy?
Pediatric pelvic floor therapy is a specialized treatment designed to help children who experience bladder and bowel control issues, such as constipation, urinary incontinence, or frequent accidents. This therapy focuses on strengthening and retraining the pelvic floor muscles, which play a key role in controlling the bladder and bowel. Through a combination of gentle exercises, behavioral techniques, and education, pediatric pelvic floor therapy helps children develop better awareness and control of these muscles, promoting healthier bathroom habits. The goal is to improve coordination, reduce discomfort, and empower children to achieve greater independence in managing their bladder and bowel functions. This therapy is offered in a supportive, child-friendly environment to ensure that the treatment is both effective and comfortable for young patients.
