Pediatric Pelvic Health Physical Therapy
Pelvic health PT can help to set your child up for success. Early constipation can contribute to difficulty with bowel movements in the future and early bladder holding can lead to potential for UTIs and prolonged pelvic floor muscle overactivity. Teaching children strategies early can help their adult years!
Pediatric visits are 30 minutes long to stay within your child’s available engagement. An evaluation is centered on knowing the full story, medical history, identifying potential deficits in their body per their tolerance, assessing their coordination, and getting comfortable with the PT. Follow up visits are also 30 minutes and are more play-based to help your child improve their mobility, strength, coordination, bowel/bladder health, and overall health. Homework will be given in the form of parent-child exercises and helpful tips to carry over what they learned from the visit each time.
At Serene, we enjoy making PT a fun time for your child while still addressing pelvic health goals.
