A pelvic assessment at Unconstipated Kids helps us understand the various factors contributing to your child's toileting difficulties. We look at diet, mobility, strength, abdominal function, toileting habits, breath control, sensation, and pelvic floor health to create a complete picture of your child's needs.
The pelvic floor is a group of muscles that helps children control when they pee or poop. Just like any other muscle, these can become too tight, too weak, or poorly positioned, affecting their ability to work properly. A pelvic assessment can help us determine if your child can effectively relax and contract these muscles for proper toileting.
Our assessments are always child-led, based on their comfort. Techniques can include visualization of the pelvic area, feeling muscle activity through clothing, or simple verbal discussions. In virtual therapy, we may use video guidance, family-recorded observations, or family-led assessments. Every assessment is adapted to your child’s unique situation and comfort level.
At Unconstipated Kids, we believe in empowering your child to take charge of their body. We build trust through respectful care, ensuring that your child feels safe and comfortable during every step of the assessment process. While pelvic assessment is an important part of addressing toileting concerns, your child's autonomy is always our priority.
