Mars Clinic - Continence Clinic for Children and Adolescents

16/04/2026

Children with ADHD, autism, or sensory processing differences often face additional challenges when it comes to toilet training and continence. These may include difficulty sensing the need to go, avoiding toilets, or needing more predictable routines. Our team uses a flexible, strengths-based approach to work with each child’s individual needs and provide families with strategies that are realistic and effective.

Leaking urine when laughing, jumping, or playing sport isn’t always just excitement. It may be a sign that your child’s pelvic floor muscles need support. Children with pelvic floor dysfunction may struggle to stay dry during activity, which can affect their confidence in sport and play. Physiotherapy can help strengthen and coordinate these muscles so kids can enjoy being active without worry.

Early toileting habits play a major role in long-term bladder and bowel health. If your child is avoiding the toilet, withholding, or having frequent accidents, these patterns can persist if not addressed early. At Mars Clinic, we help parents understand what’s typical, what’s not, and how to build better habits. With the right support, you can set your child up for success.



Our team of physiotherapists work closely with children and their families to develop tailored treatment plans that are practical, supportive, and effective. If you think our services might be right for your child, you can book an initial consultation online via our website, or for more information call our friendly administration staff. 📞 (07) 3010 1620

Continence concerns don’t always disappear with age. Many teenagers experience bladder or bowel issues in silence, feeling too embarrassed to speak up. These concerns can impact confidence, social life, and physical wellbeing. Our physiotherapists are experienced in working with adolescents and provide discreet, supportive care to help manage symptoms and build control. Support is available, and it can make a real difference.



Online bookings are now available. Click the 'see details' button below for information on how to book a consultation for your child.

Constipation: More Than Tummy Trouble

Constipation isn’t always obvious. It can show up as toilet accidents, leakage, or your child rushing to the toilet too late. Constipation often causes pressure on the bladder, making it harder to stay dry. At Mars Clinic, we help families understand how bowel habits affect bladder control and guide you with clear, achievable steps to improve both. Early support can reduce accidents and discomfort and prevent future issues.

Some daytime accidents are expected during toilet training, but if your child is still wetting during the day beyond the age of five, it’s worth checking in. Daytime accidents can affect your child’s confidence, participation at school, and sense of control. Our continence physiotherapists work closely with families to understand the cause, whether it’s bladder function, posture, or habits, and to create practical, respectful strategies that support better continence and self-esteem.

Is your child going all day without using the toilet? While it might seem like a good thing, holding for long periods can actually overstretch the bladder and lead to leaks or sudden urgency. A healthy toileting routine includes regular trips to the toilet and relaxed posture whilst on the toilet. We help families understand what is normal and how to build better habits. Small changes in routine now can make a big difference to your child’s continence, comfort and confidence in the long run.

Starting a new school year can bring excitement but also anxiety, especially for children still learning to manage their toileting. If your child is having accidents, rushing to the toilet, or avoiding it altogether, early support can prevent long-term issues. Our continence physiotherapists can help your child feel confident at school with practical strategies that fit into busy routines.

We’re here to work with you and your child to make sure they can focus on learning, not worrying about the toilet.

Some children avoid using the toilet at school, but “holding on” can lead to bladder and bowel issues.

That’s where Toilet Tactics, a national program by Continence Health Australia, comes in! It helps schools create safe, clean, and welcoming toilets and teaches kids healthy toileting habits early on.
