Incontinence (Pee & Poop Leaks)

Daytime accidents or stool leaks (encopresis) outside the toilet can be stressful and discouraging. Incontinence is rarely a behavioral issue — most often, it’s linked to muscle coordination challenges, constipation, or difficulty sensing body signals. For kids, these accidents may cause embarrassment and avoidance of activities they once enjoyed.

Children who struggle with incontinence may not fully empty their bladder or bowels, leading to ongoing leaks. Others may feel urges too late or not at all, due to sensory dysregulation. Left untreated, these issues can persist and affect a child’s confidence, social life, and independence.

Pelvic floor therapy addresses the root causes by teaching kids to strengthen or relax muscles appropriately, improve awareness of body signals, and develop consistent bathroom routines. Therapy also gives families practical strategies to reduce leaks at home, restoring dignity and confidence for the child.
