Pelvic floor therapy for children can be the answer you’ve been hoping for. Let’s discuss your child’s needs.
Every child starts with our pediatric pelvic health evaluation
Clinic, Virtual or In-Home
What it is: This 75-90 minute visit is a comprehensive educational evaluation with an orthopedic scan of your child’s trunk and legs, abdomen and breathing assessment, discussion of bladder and bowel health and an in depth connection with interoception and the core muscles. We will review their past medical history and goals. After any appropriate treatment, we will end with a supportive home plan consisting of stretches, exercises and habit changes.
Who it’s for: All kids struggling with constipation, daytime leaking, bedwetting and/or toilet training or kiddos transitioning from the pediatrician to the gynecologist.
Price: $200 for Clinic or Virtual | $225 for In-Home
