Why pelvic floor therapy for children?

Pelvic floor therapy can be very helpful for children because bladder and bowel control are skills that need to be learned and practised.

The pelvic floor muscles play a key role in continence, posture, breathing and overall body awareness. With gentle training and age-appropriate guidance, children can improve their ability to consciously control these muscles, which can support healthy development and help with issues such as bedwetting or daytime incontinence. It is important that the child is guided and supported by a therapist throughout this process.

The Alonea PelvicTool helps you improve pelvic floor awareness, control, and strength.
