Pediatric Pelvic Health

The Pediatric Pelvic Health Program is for children and adolescents at Children’s Developmental Center. Breanna Wheeler, Physical Therapist, runs this program and addresses the dysfunctions below in coordination with the child’s doctors.

To participate in the Pediatric Pelvic Health at Children’s Developmental Center you will need a referral from your child’s doctor with an incontinence related diagnosis and ‘Physical Therapy Evaluation and Treatment.’ This program is available to children with additional diagnosis, for example: anxiety, autism, Down Syndrome, Cerebral Palsy, Ehler’s Danlos. Appointments can be done in person at the clinic or via telehealth.

Breanna
Physical Therapist

“Brea is an excellent therapist. She was so caring and loving with my daughter through a sensitive situation. She was even thoughtful and caring to me as the mother. I would hands down recommend Brea to anyone that needs her specialized services.” 

Daytime Urinary Incontinence

This includes both frequent or infrequent wetting during the day, extreme urinary urgency, urine leakage with sports activity, urine leakage with coughing or sneezing, giggle incontinence, drops of leakage to full bladder emptying.

Urinary Tract Infections

If your child has frequent UTIs, they need to see a pediatric urologist who can then refer to this program.

Bed Wetting

There are many causes of bed wetting but the most common is increased stool in the rectum. This program can help determine the underlying cause of your child’s bedwetting and design a program for your child to stay dry overnight.

Fecal Incontinence

Loss of feces during the daytime: smears, small amounts in the underwear/pull up, to full bowel movements is embarrassing and can be an indicator of more serious issues with constipation.

Chronic Constipation

There are many daytime bowel and bladder habits and other factors that might be contributing to chronic constipation. This includes diet, hydration, toilet posture, use of pelvic floor muscles, abdominal and diaphragm function, physical activity/exercise, musculoskeletal imbalances, and much more. 

Pelvic Pain

Pain with urination, bowel movements or post-surgical. If your child complains of pain, they need to be seen by a physician who can then refer to this program if appropriate.
