Pediatric therapists often identify developmental delays or challenges early on, which can lead to early intervention. This is critical because addressing issues at a young age can prevent more significant difficulties later in life.

Many pelvic floor disorders are highly treatable with non-surgical specialized pelvic floor treatment.
Pelvic Health Therapy is a therapy that can be uniquely customized to each individual person. We know that most pregnant and postpartum women don’t get the support they need from the traditional healthcare system to care for themselves and manage pelvic floor challenges. AND most parents are left in the dark to deal with their child’s pelvic floor dysfunction.
At Heart and Sole Pelvic Therapy when we say ‘that’s not normal’ what we mean is, it is not something you should have to live with. It is something you can rehabilitate and improve. We can give you the guide you in strengthening and coordinating pelvic floor muscles, learning how to breathe and move in a way that supports the pelvic floor, these symptoms that so many live with for years can be drastically improved.
Many pelvic floor disorders are highly treatable with non-surgical specialized pelvic floor treatment.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that stretch from the pubic bone to the tailbone and hold the pelvic organs in place and stabilize the spine. A healthy pelvic floor can contract, squeeze, lift, relax, and fully contract to fully relax.
These muscles support your bladder, rectum, and reproductive organs, and they help control the functions of those organs: peeing, pooping, menstruation, sex, and childbirth.
A weakness or tightness in the pelvic floor muscles can cause or worsen a number of problems, including but not limited to: pelvic organ prolapse, loss of sexual sensation, and painful intercourse.

Assessment. The therapist will evaluate your child’s abilities, needs, and goals by observing daily skills and conducting standardized assessments.
Our goal is for you to feel heard and seen from your first appointment to your continuing care and journey to meet your needs
Review of current and past medical history. Your therapist will ask you several questions related to your pelvic floor. We will cover details regarding bowel, bladder, and sexual function as well as current or past obstetric history. We will discuss other relevant past medical history, medications, and injuries that you have experienced.
Physical Examination. Your therapist will begin with an overall body assessment. This may include an assessment of your strength, mobility, alignment, balance, posture, sensation, and coordination.
An external and internal examination will be discussed. Your pelvic floor is a private area, your therapist will discuss the goals and purpose of an internal examination prior to the exam taking place. An internal examination allows for the therapist to assess the strength, endurance, coordination, pain, tension and awareness of your pelvic floor muscles. There are special tests that can be performed with an internal examination.
Development of treatment plan. Your therapist will review your goals for therapy and determine the best plan of action that works for you and your therapist. You will be given recommendations and a few exercises to work on at home.
