Pediatric Pelvic Health

Does your child  avoid social settings due to incontinence such as running around with her/his friends?

Is your child struggling with wetting their bed at night (and over 5 years of age)?

Chronic constipation?

It is not just an adult issue.....children have pelvic floors as well and can suffer from both day and night time conditions that can follow them into adulthood.

But again, Shhhhhhhhhhh, this is something we do not talk about but NEEDS too.  

Let’s change the conversation and help these children succeed.

Is there an internal assessment required for Paediatric clients?

Great question! No, we NEVER complete an internal assessment on a child. We may complete an external exam during the session which will be explained to both the child and the parent. We often use biofeedback which involves placing sensors (small stickers) on the child's bottom so we can determine if the pelvic floor muscles are over active or under active, coordinated, and if they are strong or weak. We often play games through biofeedback to address the specific concerns related to your child's assessment findings.
