Understanding Pediatric Pelvic Physiotherapy

Children often have the urgency to urinate and may have leakage as a result of this urgency. Small amounts of urine leakage are expected when a child exerts themselves or experiences an increase in abdominal pressure. Urinary incontinence affects 15% of girls and 22% of boys. Nevertheless, boys are 50% more likely to have leakage urine than girls. Pelvic health physiotherapists are registered physiotherapists who are devoted to the treatment of the pelvic floor muscles and pelvic health concerns and they are able to assist children who are experiencing these issues. Through continued education and examinations, pelvic health physiotherapists have become certified to treat the conditions that impact the muscles, tendons, ligaments, nerves, and organs found in the pelvic region and those areas that surround the pelvis. Dr Savion Francis stopped by to help us understand the condition better and explains how to help children affected.
