How We Help

Pediatric pelvic floor therapy helps children improve bladder and bowel control, reduce discomfort, and build confidence in daily activities. Through specialized exercises and techniques, we support kids in developing healthy pelvic floor function for greater independence and well-being. Our pelvic floor therapy services include:

  • Withholding – Helps children overcome the fear or habit of avoiding bathroom trips, reducing discomfort and complications.

  • Bedwetting – Supports nighttime bladder control through muscle training and behavioral strategies.

  • Constipation – Improves bowel function through pelvic muscle coordination, posture, and dietary guidance.

  • Urinary Incontinence – Addresses leaks by strengthening pelvic muscles and improving bladder habits.

  • Fecal Incontinence – Helps children gain control over bowel movements through muscle training and therapy techniques.

  • Overactive Bladder – Reduces sudden, frequent urges to urinate by improving bladder signaling and control.

  • Urinary Frequency/Retention – Balances urination patterns to prevent excessive trips or difficulty emptying.

  • Urinary Urgency – Helps manage strong, uncontrollable urges to urinate through muscle and sensory training.

  • Frequent UTIs – Addresses underlying bladder dysfunction that may contribute to recurrent infections.

  • Success Stories

    An 8-year-old patient came to pelvic floor therapy experiencing daily pelvic pain, frequent urinary incontinence with over 10 episodes of leaking per day, and regular bedwetting. Her goals were to stop bedwetting and leaks so she could confidently enjoy sleepovers with friends and run and play outside without worry. After completing just seven sessions of pelvic floor therapy, she is now completely pain-free, has no more daytime leaks, and has stopped bedwetting altogether.

  • Success Stories

    One of our 16-year-old patients came to SPT struggling with bedwetting every single night. After completing 14 pelvic floor therapy sessions, she is now completely dry at night with no more bedwetting at all! We’re so proud of her hard work and the amazing progress she’s made.

  • Success Stories

    An 11-year-old girl came to SPT experiencing urinary leaks during running, jumping, sneezing, and coughing throughout the day, and she wore a pull-up at night due to bedwetting. After just 10 therapy sessions, she is now completely accident-free during the day, no longer wets the bed at night, and no longer needs a pull-up. Her biggest goal was to “run and play with her animals without worrying about accidents,” and now she can do exactly that.
