Teens & Adolescents
Pelvic health challenges don’t just affect young children — many teens and adolescents also experience bladder, bowel, or pelvic pain concerns that impact confidence, sports performance, or daily comfort. At OWN Pediatric Therapy, we specialize in helping teens understand their bodies, gain control, and find lasting relief through compassionate, evidence-based pelvic floor therapy.
Common Pelvic Health Concerns in Teens
Adolescence brings major physical and hormonal changes that can affect the pelvic floor, digestion, and nervous system. Many of the same conditions seen in younger children can persist or show up differently in teens.
Common Reasons Teens Come to Us
Constipation or incomplete bowel emptying
Urinary leakage or urgency
Pelvic or lower abdominal pain
Pain with movement, sports, or menstrual cycles
Bedwetting or nighttime accidents that continue into adolescence
Difficulty recognizing or responding to body signals
Stress, anxiety, or postural changes that affect pelvic function
These challenges can be frustrating and even embarrassing, but they are very common — and with the right care, they are treatable.
How Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps Teens
At OWN Pediatric Therapy, we meet teens where they are — with respect, privacy, and education. Our goal is to help them understand how their body works and give them tools to feel empowered and confident.
Pelvic floor therapy helps teens:
Improve bladder and bowel control
Relieve pain and tension in the pelvic or abdominal area
Learn strategies for posture, breathing, and movement that support pelvic health
Develop self-awareness and confidence around body signals
Build sustainable routines for gut, bladder, and menstrual health
Our sessions are one-on-one and collaborative, allowing space for teens to ask questions, learn, and take ownership of their progress.
A Safe and Supportive Space for Every Teen
We understand that talking about pelvic health can feel uncomfortable, especially for teenagers. That’s why we focus on creating a safe, judgment-free environment where every teen feels heard, understood, and respected.
Whether your teen is an athlete, a busy student, or navigating puberty and body changes, we’re here to help them thrive — in their OWN way.
