What is Pediatric Pelvic Physical Therapy?

Pediatric pelvic physical therapists have highly advanced training necessary to diagnose and properly treat children with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction. They specialize in working with children and families experiencing problems such as constipation, bladder and fecal incontinence, among other diagnoses. The goal of PT is to identify the primary  problem and develop an individualized program to improve muscle strength, flexibility and movement in the pelvic muscles, as well as identify postural and hip deficiencies. They also incorporate education related to the diagnosis to help manage symptoms. 

Why Choose Us?

Monica Duran, an experienced physical therapist in Tucson, has chosen to specialize in treating pediatric patients with pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, including severe constipation. Recognizing the lack of specialized care for children with these conditions in Tucson, she has started her private clinical practice to cater to families seeking help for various pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions in young children. Her decision to focus on this field stems from a personal journey to find assistance for a family member, leading her to seek medical care from renowned pediatric colorectal surgeons in New York and Ohio, Dr. Alberto Pena and Dr. Marc Levitt. Monica’s goal is to offer individualized care in collaboration with referring physicians to help children in need.

Monica’s goal is to provide specialized care for pediatric patients with pelvic floor muscle dysfunctions while empowering families to take control of managing the problem. She collaborates with referring physicians to create comprehensive care plans tailored to each child’s unique needs, ensuring they receive the support and guidance they need for a healthier, more comfortable life.
