With 3% of Australian school-aged children suffering from daytime bladder control and 10% suffering from bedwetting, the Mars Clinic was established to meet the significant community need for the treatment of children with bladder and bowel conditions. MARS CLINIC
Your Partner in Children’s Continence
Are you dealing with a child or adolescent with bladder or bowel problems and don’t know whether
to seek help? Our specifically trained Physiotherapists use the latest technology and scientific research to provide a specific diagnosis and treatment plan. Is your school-age child:
•still wetting during the day
•still wetting the bed at night
•needing to go to the toilet many times a day
•soiling their underwear
•developing recurrent urinary tract infections? If you answered yes to any of these questions, we may be able to help. Most children, but not all, gain bladder and bowel control by 4 to 5 years of age. It is important that all children over 5 years, with daytime wetting or soiling issues, are seen by a Health Professional experienced with children’s continence. The Purpose of the Mars Clinic
Why do we do what we do?
