Pediatric Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor plays an important role in how the body functions day to day. Pelvic floor therapy helps address concerns related to bladder and bowel control, core stability, and body awareness in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
Who is it for?
If your child experiences any of the following concerns, pediatric pelvic floor therapy may help:
Frequent daytime accidents or bedwetting beyond the expected age
Difficulty or discomfort with urination or bowel movements
Avoiding or withholding bathroom trips
Frequent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
Complaints of abdominal or pelvic discomfort related to bathroom habits
Sudden or overwhelming urges to urinate
What we work on
Our pediatric pelvic floor therapy focuses on assessing and treating muscle coordination, strength, and function to improve bladder and bowel control. Treatment is gentle, child-friendly, and tailored to your child’s specific needs. Sessions may include education, exercises, biofeedback, breathing techniques, and lifestyle modifications to promote comfort and confidence.
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.

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.
