How do I know if my son/daughter needs pelvic floor therapy?

A lot of parents- and even physicians!- have never heard of pelvic floor therapy for children. Instead, children are prescribed stool softeners for an indeterminate amount of time, or silently suffer the humiliation of wetting their pants and being left out of social functions. There ARE holistic, client-centered solutions for children with pelvic floor dysfunction.

Does Your Child:

• Struggle to keep their underwear clean and dry?

• Feel embarrassed because they still wet the bed at night?

• Feel fearful or anxious about letting poop or pee out into the toilet?

• Have sensory differences that are affecting their toileting skills, like not being able to feel the urge to poop or pee?

• Seem to show “readiness signs” of starting the potty learning process, but you don’t know what the best “method” to use is?

Do You Want Your Child:

• To be able to go to the bathroom on their own at school/daycare, home and out in the community without needing constant reminders?

• To stop using medication as the only way to manage their constipation?

• To stop having to wear pull-ups and to wear clean, dry underwear comfortably?

• To be able to participate in fun social activities like play dates, sleep-overs, sports, dance and other social activities without worrying about having leaks?

• To be happy, confident and dry?
