∆ Kids Continence ∆

Children usually achieve dry days and nights by the age of 5 years old. However 1 in 3 kids will experience "poo problems" and 1 in 10 kids will experience "wee problems" such as day wetting, night wetting or faecal incontinence (poo accidents). 95% of kids continence issues are functional, meaning they are related to issues such as constipation, pelvic floor muscle coordination, overfilling, incomplete bladder emptying and fear of toileting.

Our continence physios use non-invasive imaging and child friendly treatment strategies to help kids achieve dry days and nights.

Imaging such as real time ultrasound help us to understand a child's control of the pelvic floor muscles, loading of the re**um related to chronic constipation and how well their little bladders fill and empty. 🌻👏

Last month marked the final milestone in my Master of Physiotherapy (Pelvic Health) degree at The University Of Melbourne. I completed my capstone in research, writing a systematic review on the prevalence of dyspareunia in women who have undergone treatment for cervical cancer.

Since then I have been admitted to the Australian College of Physiotherapists and have been certified as an APA Titled Women's, Men's and Pelvic Health Physiotherapist.

It has been a wonderful 3 years of learning and connecting and certainly a proud moment for me to get to the finish line. Bring on graduation in December!! 🥳

Now I am looking forward to extending my research with a new systematic review in the works alongside Robyn Brennen and my UoM team. (watch this space).

I want to extend a big thanks to everyone who supported me over the last 3 years! 🥳🥳🥳🥳🥳🥰🥰🥰🥰🥰.
