The pediatric physical therapist is skilled in providing treatment for pediatric patients experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction. This specialized therapy addresses various issues such as daytime wetting, night time wetting, altered frequency of urination, pain during urination, constipation, fecal incontinence, and fecal withholding. The treatment approach involves a range of techniques including manual therapy, therapeutic exercises to strengthen and relax the pelvic floor muscles, biofeedback therapy, and neuromuscular reeducation to enhance awareness and control of these muscles. Additionally, rectal balloon training, core strengthening exercises, and patient and family education are incorporated into the therapy. Common conditions that require therapy for pelvic floor dysfunction, urinary incontinence, and bowel incontinence include increased urinary frequency (voiding more than 7 times per day), decreased urinary frequency (voiding less than 4 times per day), daytime wetting, bedwetting, constipation (less than 3 bowel movements per week), bowel leakage, urinary urgency, pain during urination, frequent urinary tract infections, and incomplete bladder or bowel emptying.
