What is Infant Pelvic Health Support?

Infant Pelvic Health Support is a specialized, gentle therapy designed to help babies experiencing discomfort related to their bowel and bladder function and digestion. Many infants struggle with issues such as constipation, gas, difficulty pooping, colic-like symptoms, and general discomfort that can affect their feeding, sleep, and overall happiness.

Our therapy focuses on supporting the development of the pelvic muscles, nervous system, and digestive function through gentle, hands-on techniques and parent education. By addressing tension, promoting healthy movement patterns, and encouraging optimal function, we help your baby find relief and feel more at ease in their tiny body.

Whether your baby is experiencing infrequent pooping, excessive gassiness, or general fussiness, our infant services offer a compassionate, evidence-based approach to help them thrive—so you can enjoy more smiles, better sleep, and greater peace of mind.

Your baby’s comfort matters, and we’re here to support every step of the journey.

What to expect at OWN for your baby

One-On-One Appointments

For infants, each session takes place in a private treatment room with the same dedicated therapist, ensuring consistent care. Our sessions are baby-led, meaning we follow your baby’s cues and adjust our approach based on what your baby needs in that moment. Your baby’s comfort and well-being are our top priority throughout the entire process.

Customized Treatment Plans

We understand that every baby is unique, and their treatment should be too. That’s why your baby will receive a personalized therapy plan tailored to their individual needs. A one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work, and we’re committed to providing care that’s as special as your little one. We’ll also ensure you leave with practical tools and guidance to continue supporting your baby’s comfort at home.

Specialized Care for Kids

We specialize exclusively in pediatric pelvic health, a focus not offered by many clinics. This specialized expertise naturally extends to working with infants. We focus on identifying and addressing the root causes of your baby’s concerns, providing expert care that goes beyond just managing symptoms. Our personalized approach leads to lasting results, helping your little one find comfort and thrive.

Pricing Transparency

We believe in full transparency when it comes to the cost of care. You’ll always know the cost of each visit and have a clear understanding of how many visits your child may need to complete their care plan. Since every patient is unique, we’ll provide you with a detailed recommendation after your baby’s initial visit.
