Constipation
Common in children, constipation often connects with bladder problems. It can result from diet, pain, illness, travel, or habits like avoiding bathroom breaks during playtime.
Bladder Voiding
These occur when children delay bathroom visits, causing bladder control issues, daytime or nighttime accidents, frequent urination, and infections.
How We Help
Pelvic floor physical therapy, including biofeedback, effectively treats these conditions. Biofeedback uses visual aids to help children learn muscle control and proper bathroom habits through engaging activities and exercises. Education and interactive tools help children understand and manage their symptoms.
Therapy begins with a comprehensive evaluation, followed by regular, engaging sessions lasting 30-60 minutes. Parents are always present, and multiple sessions typically yield significant improvements.
