To restore healthy bladder and bowel control, coordination, and confidence in children through personalized pelvic health rehabilitation.
What Is Kids Pelvic Floor Dysfunction?
The pelvic floor in children is a developing group of muscles that supports the bladder and bowel and helps control urination and defecation. When these muscles are weak, overactive, or poorly coordinated, children may experience bladder or bowel control difficulties.
Common Causes in Children :
- Delayed toilet training
- Habitual holding of urine or stool
- Chronic constipation
- Recurrent urinary tract infections (UTIs)
- Stress or behavioral factors
- Poor coordination between the bladder, bowel, and pelvic muscles
How We Help
Our pelvic health therapists provide structured, age-appropriate care to improve bladder and bowel control.
Key Interventions Include:
Pelvic floor muscle training: Teaching correct activation and relaxation
Bladder retraining: Establishing healthy voiding schedules
Bowel management programs: Addressing constipation safely
Biofeedback therapy: Improving awareness and muscle coordination
Postural and breathing training: Supporting pelvic stability
Therapy is delivered in a child-friendly, supportive environment that encourages confidence and active participation.
The Manual Therapy Approach
Hands-on techniques may be used when needed to address abdominal tension, postural imbalances, or musculoskeletal contributors affecting pelvic coordination. Gentle manual therapy supports mobility, alignment, and healthy neuromuscular development
Why Combine Physiotherapy and Osteopathy?
Together, these therapies create a holistic and powerful approach to healing:
- Physiotherapy restores muscular strength and control
- Osteopathy relieves deeper tissue restrictions and systemic imbalances
This dual approach addresses both symptoms and root causes—like scar tissue, nerve irritation, or posture-related strain—often overlooked in standard treatments.

- Bedwetting (Nocturnal Enuresis)

FAQs
Bedwetting (nocturnal enuresis) is common in younger children. However, if it continues beyond the typical toilet-training years or starts again after a dry period, an assessment may be helpful.
Treatment addresses muscle weakness or poor coordination contributing to daytime urinary leakage. Structured exercises and bladder retraining improve continence and control.
Yes. Pediatric physiotherapy supports bowel dysfunction by improving pelvic muscle relaxation, toilet posture, abdominal coordination, and bowel routines.
Dysfunctional voiding occurs when a child cannot properly coordinate bladder emptying. Pelvic floor rehabilitation helps retrain muscle patterns to improve complete and pain-free urination.
Yes. Treatment is gentle, age-appropriate, and typically external. It may include exercises, education, posture training, breathing techniques, and biofeedback therapy.
Improvement depends on the child’s condition and consistency with therapy and home programs. Many children begin to see progress within a few weeks.
Parents should consider evaluation if a child has persistent bedwetting, daytime accidents, constipation, recurrent UTIs, painful urination, or difficulty with toilet training.
