A Supportive Space for Every Unique Developmental Journey.
At Monty Pelvic Physio, we recognise that continence milestones aren’t a “one-size-fits-all” process. We provide a welcoming, neurodiverse-affirming environment for children with ADHD, Autism, or sensory processing differences. Our approach is strictly non-judgmental and play-based, focusing on building a child’s confidence and interoceptive awareness rather than simply “achieving results”.

Management of Bedwetting (Nocturnal Enuresis) in Rosanna
Bedwetting is often a matter of developmental timing, deep sleep patterns, or bladder-brain communication, rather than a “behavioural” choice. At Monty Pelvic Physio, we provide clinical strategies for children’s continence in Rosanna that focus on supporting the child’s physiology without the use of shame or pressure.
Support for Daytime Wetting and Bladder Urgency
“Giggles incontinence” or a sudden, overwhelming urge to reach the toilet can impact a child’s confidence at school and play. We use gentle, play-based exercises to help children in Rosanna and Heidelberg understand their body’s signals and improve their pelvic floor coordination.
Managing Functional Constipation and Soiling
Chronic constipation can lead to overflow soiling, which is often distressing for both the parent and child. At Monty Pelvic Physio, we take a collaborative approach to bowel health, focusing on stool consistency and effective emptying strategies in a strictly non-judgmental environment. We provide families in the Rosanna and Heidelberg region with the clinical tools required to support physical function and daily comfort.
Clinical Support for Neurodiverse Children in the Banyule Region
For children with ADHD, Autism, or sensory processing differences, traditional “toileting programs” can be overwhelming. As part of our children’s continence services in Rosanna, we focus on Interoceptive Awareness i.e. helping children learn to feel and interpret their body’s internal signals at a pace that respects their unique sensory profile.
What to Expect: A Child-Led Assessment.
We don’t use scary machines or invasive procedures. Our assessments are child-led and often involve Real-Time Ultrasound (RTUS), where your child can see their “bladder balloon” on a screen, turning clinical data into an engaging, visual learning experience.

Children’s Continence: Frequently Asked Questions
Will my child be embarrassed or uncomfortable during the assessment?
We prioritse a “safety-first” environment in our Montmorency consulting suites. Our assessments are child-led and play-based; we do not use invasive procedures. Instead, we utilise Real-Time Ultrasound (RTUS), a non-invasive tool that allows your child to see their “bladder balloon” on a screen. This turns a clinical assessment into an engaging, visual learning experience that reduces anxiety and builds clinical trust.
How do you support neurodiverse children who don’t “feel” the urge to go?
For children with ADHD, Autism, or sensory processing differences, toilet accidents are often a result of interceptive lag, which represents a delay in the brain receiving signals from the bladder or bowel. Our approach is strictly neurodiversity-affirming and avoids compliance-based rewards. Instead, we focus on gentle sensory strategies and visual schedules that respect your child’s unique wiring, helping them develop body awareness at their own pace.
My child is school-age; is it “too late” to start continence physiotherapy?
Developmental timelines for bladder and bowel control vary significantly, and there is no expiry date on seeking support. Whether your child is preparing for their first school camp in Heidelberg or navigating primary school transitions, we provide clinical strategies to support their physical comfort and lifestyle participation without judgment.
What is the “bottom-up” approach to managing soiling and constipation?
Soiling is often a physical result of chronic constipation and fluid retention, rather than a behavioural choice. Our bottom-up framework involves managing stool consistency and optimising the toileting position to support effective bowel emptying. By treating the underlying motility concern in a non-judgmental way, we help reduce the anxiety often associated with bowel accidents.
Do I need a GP referral to access paediatric pelvic health services?
No formal referral is required for families using health fund extras. However, many parents across the Northeast Melbourne area access clinical support via a Chronic Disease Management (CDM) plan from their GP. If you have a plan, please check that the referral is addressed to Min Khoo at Monty Pelvic Physio to facilitate your Medicare rebate. We prioritise clear communication with your child’s GP or Paediatrician to support a consistent, collaborative management plan.
