CHILDREN
Pelvic rehabilitation isn’t just for adults - it can make a big difference for kids, too! Many children struggle with bladder leaks, constipation, bedwetting, or bathroom anxiety, and pelvic therapy helps get to the root of those issues in a gentle, age-appropriate way.
Children, of all ages and all abilities, have benefitted from pelvic rehabilitation! Some of the most common improvements have been:
Improved Bladder and Bowel Control: Pelvic rehabilitation helps in treating conditions such as bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis), daytime urinary incontinence, and constipation by strengthening the pelvic floor muscles and teaching proper toileting techniques.
Management of Urinary Urgency: Kids who experience urgent needs to urinate can benefit from pelvic floor therapy, which teaches them how to control their bladder muscles effectively.
Correction of Voiding Dysfunctions: Children with dysfunctional elimination syndrome can learn correct voiding habits through pelvic rehabilitation, improving their bladder and bowel function.
Reduction in Pelvic Pain: If a child experiences pelvic pain due to injuries, surgeries, or other conditions, pelvic rehab can provide techniques and exercises that reduce pain and enhance recovery.
Support for Physical Development: Proper pelvic floor function is crucial for physical activities and sports. Pelvic rehabilitation can ensure kids have a strong and functional pelvic floor to support their physical development.
Encouragement of Healthy Bathroom Habits: Educating children on healthy toileting behaviors through pelvic rehabilitation can promote lifelong habits that prevent future pelvic floor issues.
Improved Confidence and Quality of Life: Children dealing with incontinence often suffer from low self-esteem and social anxiety. Pelvic rehabilitation can improve their symptoms, boost their confidence, and enhance their overall quality of life.
Support for Children with Special Needs: Children with developmental disabilities or conditions like spina bifida can particularly benefit from tailored pelvic rehabilitation to manage and improve their bladder and bowel functions.
