Common symptoms of pediatric pelvic floor dysfunction include....

• Difficulty urinating or controlling bladder function
• Not urinating enough

• Urine leakage including bedwetting

Treating your child's incontinence is important.

Along with restoring their physical wellbeing, pediatric pelvic floor treatment enables your child to regain their confidence and restore their quality of life. Your child no longer needs to worry about having an accident during the day - they can pursue normal childhood activities like school, sports and playdates without worrying about incontinence.

Incontinence Treatment Methods

• Rehabilitative Ultrasound
• Pelvic Floor muscle visual evaluation and treatment (no internal assessment)
• Neuromuscular Re-education
• Modalities such as therapeutic ultrasound and cold laser

What will my child do in physical therapy sessions?

Each patient receives a custom treatment plan that is tailored to their condition, age, gender and other factors. Our primary goal is to create a welcoming environment in which your child feels comfortable and encouraged to pursue treatment. We commonly use a mix of exercises and tools such as rehabilitative ultrasound, neuromuscular re-education and pelvic floor muscular strengthening.

Will you do a vaginal or rectal exam on my child?
