Pelvic Health

Pelvic health physiotherapy involves the assessment and treatment of various conditions and issues relating to the pelvic floor and surrounding pelvic girdle area. The pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles that attach from your pubic bone to the tail bone (front to back) and sit bones (side to side). They act as a trampoline and are important for bowel and bladder control, pelvic organ support, inner core stability, and sexual function.

Trained pelvic floor physiotherapists perform a detailed assessment to determine the cause of your pelvic floor dysfunction. For a more thorough assessment, an internal vaginal or rectal examination may be indicated with your consent. Based on the findings, each client will receive a personalized treatment plan that may include education with visual aids, exercises, manual therapy, soft tissue techniques, activity modification, self-management strategies, and relaxation practices. You will be empowered to take control of your pelvic floor and all its functions.
