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 are able to overcome their bowel and bladder issues more successfully when they feel relaxed and comfortable. I use a variety of fun and engaging treatment techniques to help retrain muscles, improve posture and core strength, and provide helpful tips to improve daily routines and voiding habits.
