Helping Kids Feel Confident and Comfortable
Pelvic health issues can be challenging for children, teens, and young athletes to navigate, but with the right care, they can regain both control and confidence. At Inspire Physical Therapy in Beaverton, OR, , we specialize in treating pelvic floor challenges through personalized care delivered in a supportive, family-focused environment.
Understanding Pediatric Pelvic Floor Health
The pelvic floor consists of a group of muscles located between the tailbone and the pubic bone. These muscles support vital organs, maintain continence, and contribute to proper posture and strength. When these muscles are not functioning optimally, kids may experience:
Urinary Incontinence
Fecal Incontinence (Encopresis)
Constipation
Pelvic Pain
Tailbone Pain
Recurrent Urinary Tract Infections (UTIs)
Pain with Voiding or Bowel Movements
Addressing these issues early is crucial to prevent long-term complications and to improve a kid’s quality of life.
Our Specialized Approach
Our pediatric pelvic floor physical therapy specialists, Dr. Kate Heierman and Dr. Kelsie McCaffrey, have extensive experience treating children, teens and athletes aged 2 to 18 with pelvic floor conditions.
