Children’s Continence Physiotherapy

Bedwetting is common, especially in younger children, but if it continues beyond the age of 5 or causes stress, we recommend an assessment. It’s rarely due to laziness or bad habits — we focus on understanding the cause and gently guiding your child toward dry nights.

Yes! Continence physiotherapy uses gentle, non-invasive techniques to assess pelvic floor function, posture, bladder and bowel habits, and lifestyle factors. We teach children and parents practical strategies, exercises, and routines to support healthy toileting.

Our approach is holistic and child-centred. We take time to understand your child’s routines, physical development, and emotional wellbeing. Our sessions are calm, supportive, and designed to build trust and confidence in both the child and their caregivers. We use physiotherapy specific assessment and treatment techniques and equipment to build a program that is best tailored to your child. 

We typically support children from age 5 and up — particularly when they’re ready for or struggling with toilet training, or when continence concerns begin to affect daily life, school, or social activities.

Absolutely. Parents play a vital role in the success of treatment. We provide clear guidance, reassurance, and education to help you support your child effectively at home, without pressure or blame.
