Is your child is suffering from bedwetting or chronic constipation and you’ve done it all with no resolution?
Are you frustrated with alarms that wake everyone in the house but not your child?
Are you worried your child will never grow out of bedwetting or will plug the toilet with large diameter stools when they go off to college?
Do you wish your child could go on a sleepover, summer camp or you could go on vacation without worrying about soiled underwear or bedsheets?
Have you noticed a change in your child’s behavior or self-esteem?
Has your child missed out on activities because of stomach pain and bloating?
Have you gone around on what I call the Constipation Carousel TM of laxatives on and off only to have the problem come back again in a few months?
If you felt a connection to any of these questions read on.
Don’t give up or wait until they “grow out of it”. There are options beyond simply taking medications and praying for a cure!

Addressing the Issues

Does your child plug the toilet with large diameter stools?
Are you concerned when they go off to college with bowel or bladder issues?

Let’s go beyond the basics and get into BOOTCAMP!!
How is this program different?
As a pediatric pelvic floor physical therapist, I am most interested in looking at your entire child and not just their bladder/bowel function or their bladder/bowel muscles (pelvic floor muscles). There is more to this program that needs to be addressed with the core muscles, breathing and the rib cage!
Bowel and bladder dysfunctions are multifaceted- it’s not just about fluid intake, bladder irritants, snoring, sleep disturbances and constipation although those are all important considerations.
There are so many reasons why children wet the bed and I am here to give your insight into a few of them that you may not have looked at yet and expand on some you have.
You will:
Learn how to look at your child’s posture, rib cage, how they use their abdominal (core) muscles and understand how that relates to the pelvic floor muscles (bowel and bladder muscles) with the ability to control both urine and stool.
Learn how to use the pelvic floor muscles the way they should be used functionally and not EVER stop and start the flow of urine while on the toilet. (If you are doing that please stop!)
Understand how breathing diaphragm works with the pelvic muscles and why that matters.
Recognize why you keep going around and around with loose stools and leakage to constipation and learn how to stop it.
Be able to teach your child how to begin to feel and sense what their body is telling tell and be better able to react to signals of the body.
Learn how to coordinate breathing with the pelvic floor muscles for bladder and bowel control.
Learn how to meet your child where they are whether they are a typical developing child or a child with special needs.
Learn why rewards don’t work!
My goal is to give you some simple steps and provide some new things to fill in the missing blanks and put the whole picture together for you so you and your family can go back to doing the things that you care about the most.
