ANORECTAL PHYSIOTHERAPY
We provide advanced anorectal care. This is for patients who are under the management of colorectal surgeons, gastroenterologists, or other bowel specialists. Management of bowel-related conditions typically consists of education around the physiology of defecation (how you poo) and guidance around optimal defecation dynamics (fixing how you poo). We also help with the manipulation of stool consistency, pelvic floor muscle exercises, biofeedback techniques for dyssynergic defecation, and improving colonic motility. We will also help you to learn to regulate your nervous system to calm down your "fight, flight or freeze" response and activate the "rest and digest" system.

​
No invasive procedures will be performed on your child. Real-time ultrasound can be used on your childs stomach to evaluate their pelvic floor muscles and check for any stool holding in their rectum.
