Kiddos can have pelvic floor issues too! Constipation or bed wetting may be pelvic floor related and can make potty training difficult. Our pediatric pelvic floor specialists can educate both patients and parents on how to improve toileting problems to make constipation a thing of the past 😎. Pediatric pelvic floor PT is available for kids 5 and older at Northwest Wellness group.

Do you know where all the bathrooms are when you go out? Do you make sure you empty your bladder as much as possible just in case you won’t be able to find a bathroom later?

There's lots of misconceptions about what pelvic floor therapy is.

We wanted to share the myths we have heard the most and debunk them for you.

What other questions about pelvic PT do you have?

Just a friendly reminder "in every three, you should p*e!"

What does this mean?

Basically, if you are adequately hydrated, you should be urinating every 2-4 hours while you are awake. Sometimes we remind patients with this simple rhyme to help them out.

Things that could help you p*e at a normal frequency:

1. set a timer for every 2-4 hours and go when it tells you to
2. drink enough (but not too much water) throughout the day
3. don't CHUG your fluids- SIP instead
4. avoid or reduce bladder irritants like coffee, alcohol, citrus/acidic foods and drinks

Does everyone need to p*e every 2-4 hours ALL THE TIME?

Of course not. Things are fluid (haha, get it?) throughout the day. But in general, or on average, normal voiding of our bladders is about every 2-4 hours while we are awake.

Is this you?

Are you struggling to p**p?

Is it painful?

Are you only getting little bits out at a time?

You might have something called "outlet dysfunction constipation" or "dyssnergic defecation" which is a type of pelvic floor dysfunction.

Here's some things that can help:

1. Use a squatty potty or similar to get your knees higher than your hips. This helps to relax and open the a**s to get the p**p out!

2. Breathe when you are pushing. Do not hold your breath!

3. See a pelvic floor PT! We can assess your anorectal muscles and determine what your particular issue is so you can **pbetter.

Are you even a mom if you haven’t held all of your kids’ stuff while they play at the park? Don’t even get me started on all the heavy water bottles…it’s contributing to my carpal tunnel syndrome 😵‍💫
