Pediatric Pelvic Floor Therapy for Bedwetting, Constipation & Accidents
Helping Your Child Find Comfort, Confidence, and Control
Bedwetting, constipation, accidents at school
Pediatric pelvic floor therapy addresses dysfunction in the muscles and nerves that control bladder and bowel function in children. In kids, pelvic floor muscles can become too tight, poorly coordinated, or underactive — leading to a range of symptoms that are often frustrating for both the child and their family.
Our therapists are experienced in working with children and adolescents, using play-based, trauma-informed, and developmentally appropriate techniques. No internal assessment is performed on pediatric patients — all evaluation and treatment is external.
Common Symptoms we Treat
At Weeks Wellness, our pediatric pelvic floor program is designed to be age-appropriate, gentle, and centered on the child's comfort and trust.
-
Ongoing nighttime urinary accidents after the age when most children are expected to stay dry. This can be related to bladder capacity, deep sleep patterns, delayed nervous system maturation, or pelvic floor coordination challenges that affect nighttime control.
-
Frequent urges to urinate, difficulty holding urine, or accidents during the day. This may be linked to bladder overactivity, poor pelvic floor coordination, or habits such as “just in case” voiding that disrupt normal bladder signaling.
-
Difficulty with regular, comfortable bowel movements, including infrequent stools, avoidance of bowel movements, or involuntary stool leakage. These patterns often involve pelvic floor dysfunction, stool retention behaviors, and disrupted bowel signaling.
-
Discomfort, pain, or fear associated with passing stool, often leading to avoidance or withholding. This can contribute to a cycle of constipation and increased pelvic floor tension.
-
Recurrent urinary tract infections that may be influenced by incomplete bladder emptying, dysfunctional voiding patterns, or pelvic floor tightness that affects normal urine flow and hygiene.
-
Changes in bladder or bowel habits such as urgency, accidents, or constipation that may be associated with stress, anxiety, or past medical or emotional experiences. The pelvic floor can become overactive or uncoordinated in response to nervous system dysregulation.
-
Support after surgeries involving the abdomen, pelvis, or urinary system to restore normal bladder, bowel, and pelvic floor function. Therapy focuses on improving coordination, reducing pain or guarding, and helping the child return to normal activity comfortably.
