Conditions Treated in Paediatrics

Treating pelvic health conditions in the paediatric population is different than in adults. Your pelvic health physiotherapist will sit down and thoroughly discuss your child’s reason(s) for seeking treatment.

Pelvic health physiotherapy can help treat:

  • Trouble with potty training

  • Daytime urinary or fecal incontinence

  • Enuresis (night time incontinence)

  • Urinary urgency and frequency

  • Overactive bladder

  • Voiding postponement (postponing urination with holding maneuvers)

  • Bladder, urethral and/or genital pain

  • Giggle incontinence

  • Constipation and/or stool retention
