What is Pediatric Pelvic Floor Therapy?

Pediatric pelvic floor therapy is a specialized treatment that helps children overcome bowel and bladder challenges with the support of licensed occupational and physical therapists.

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues at the base of the pelvis that support the bladder and bowel. When these muscles aren’t functioning properly, children may experience challenges such as bedwetting, constipation, urinary urgency, and incontinence.

At OWN Pediatric Therapy, we believe that true success goes beyond simply addressing the pelvic floor muscles. We recognize that many factors influence pelvic health and overall child development. That’s why we take a whole-child approach—considering all areas of development, including coordination and strength, sensory processing, nervous system regulation, posture and alignment, habits and routines, and more.

Our top priority is to identify the root cause of your child’s challenges and create lasting change. We don’t just focus on resolving symptoms; we work with your child to build healthy habits and routines that will support them for a lifetime.

Our goal is to empower your child with the tools and confidence they need to thrive.

What Does Treatment Look Like?

At OWN Pediatric Therapy, we work closely with your family every step of the way. Using a trauma-informed, play-based approach, we tailor our treatments to your child’s unique needs. Through play and engaging activities, we may focus on:

  • Strength & coordination

  • Balance

  • Posture & alignment

  • Sensory processing

  • Primitive reflex testing & integration

  • Breathing & airway function

  • Nervous system regulation

  • Healthy habits & routines

  • Toileting mechanics

  • Pelvic floor or “potty muscles” relaxation & strengthening

We also use techniques such as:

  • Soft tissue mobilization & abdominal work

  • Myofascial release

  • Biofeedback

  • Individualized home programs

Unlike adult pelvic floor therapy, which may involve internal assessments or treatments, pediatric therapy does not. With your child’s and your consent, we may perform an external examination of the pelvic floor muscles to assess their function. Your therapist will thoroughly explain this process and answer any questions you may have.

As part of our care, your child will receive a personalized therapy plan tailored to their individual needs, because we know that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn’t work.

Pricing Transparency

We believe in full transparency when it comes to the cost of care.

Since every patient is unique, we’ll provide you with a detailed recommendation after your child’s initial visit.

Pediatric Pelvic Floor Therapy FAQs

  • We work with infants through adolescence.

  • Nope! While we love collaborating with any providers your child works with, you do not need a referral to start services with us.

  • Absolutely! We genuinely believe that every neurodiverse child (i.e. autistic, ADHD, anxiety) deserves to feel good in their bodies and not let bowel and bladder problems get in their way of doing the things they love to do.

    We help you create strategies that uniquely fit your child’s needs and maintain optimal pelvic health.
