Treatments for Children
Pelvic floor muscle dysfunction affects people of all ages, including children. Pelvic physical therapy intervention for children is a non-invasive approach that can be very effective in helping your child gain control and independence with bowel and bladder function. It is important for the child and the parent(s) to feel comfortable, respected and supported in the therapeutic environment to facilitate the learning process of toileting.
All treatments include a parent or parent authorized caregiver to be present with the child and therapist during all evaluation and treatment sessions. Treatment includes the use of computer assisted exercise commonly called biofeedback for purposes of muscle strengthening or lengthening or a combination of both techniques. Muscle relaxation techniques, behavioral and diet modification and a home exercise routine are all part of the treatment strategy which can be easily followed during the week between treatment sessions.
We treat the following conditions:
-
Bedwetting
-
Chronic constipation
-
Encopresis (bowel incontinence and/or inability to empty)
-
Urinary incontinence
-
Fecal urgency or frequency
-
Painful elimination (bowel or bladder)
-
Urinary frequency or urgency
-
Urinary retention
-
Vesicoureteral reflux
