Pediatric Pelvic Health
Are you at your wit’s end with potty training your toddler?
​
Do you have an older child who still struggles with daytime incontinence, bed wetting, or constipation?
Physical therapy can help children overcome the following struggles:
​
Difficulty with potty training
Constipation
Enuresis (Bedwetting)
Daytime urinary incontinence
Encopresis (fecal incontinence)
Vesicoureteral reflux (Backflow of urine into the kidney)
Pelvic and/or abdominal pain
Recurrent urinary tract infections
Children thrive in the comfort of home. Meeting in your home allows me to assess your child in their natural environment. Children are able to overcome their bowel and bladder issues more successfully when they feel relaxed and comfortable. I use a variety of non-invasive treatment techniques to help retrain muscles, improve posture and core strength, and provide helpful tips to improve daily routines and voiding habits.

Breastfeeding Conditions and Tethered Oral Tissues
Breastfeeding can be a painful and frustrating experience for you and your baby, but it doesn’t have to be. You and your new baby deserve a provider that understands both the physical and emotional aspects involved for both mom AND baby.
I will assess both mom and baby to find the root cause of the following issues:
For Mom:
Painful latch
Clogged milk ducts
Early symptoms of mastitis (must be within first 24 hours of redness/inflammation)
Breast inflammation
Pain in neck/shoulders
Positioning challenges during feeding
For Baby:
Tight jaw
Shallow latch
Uncoordinated suck
Body tension
Torticollis (tightness in neck that may affect breastfeeding, particularly on one side)
Tethered oral tissues (lip or tongue tie)
Pre/post tongue or lip tie release therapy
For the most successful breastfeeding outcomes, collaboration with a lactation consultant may also be recommended.
Infant and Early Childhood Development
Have you ever been told to “wait and see” by your healthcare provider?
