Bedwetting is stressful for kids and parents alike, and it often feels like you’ve tried everything—limiting fluids, nighttime reminders, or alarms—with limited results. You may have even heard that they will outgrow it. One of the most overlooked contributors is constipation, and one of the most effective ways to address it is through pediatric pelvic floor physical therapy.

Understanding the connection between constipation and bladder function can empower families and open the door to meaningful improvements. Read on: https://bdiplayhouse.com/constipation-and-bedwetting-how-physical-therapy-can-help

🛌 Pajama Day in Therapy! 🛌
Today, we got comfy in our coziest pajamas while working on important communication and social skills! Even in our PJs, we stayed focused, engaged, and took our therapy seriously—proving that learning can be both effective and fun. 😄

From practicing speech sounds to building social skills, our clients showed that you don’t have to change out of your pajamas to achieve big goals!
