Reclaim Your Strength & Confidence
Your pelvic floor is fundamental to your overall health and well-being — supporting your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs, stabilizing your core, and enhancing your quality of life. When these muscles become weak, tight, or dysfunctional, it can lead to discomfort, incontinence, pelvic pain, or challenges during pregnancy and postpartum recovery.
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy offers a gentle, personalized path to healing and strengthening these essential muscles — helping you regain control, reduce pain, and improve your everyday function.

- Biofeedback to enhance awareness and control
- Education on posture, breathwork, and daily habits that support lasting pelvic

Your first visit begins with a confidential conversation about your symptoms, health history, goals, and lifestyle. From there, your physiotherapist designs a customized treatment plan that combines hands-on therapy, guided exercises, and practical strategies you can use at home. Each session may include one-on-one education to deepen your connection to your body, internal and/or external manual therapy based on your comfort and goals, and movement strategies to support long-term pelvic function.
No — internal exams are never required. Vaginal or rectal internal assessments are sometimes recommended because they provide the most accurate evaluation of pelvic floor muscle strength, tone, and coordination, but they are always optional. Effective external treatment options are available, and your physiotherapist will discuss every step with you so you can choose what feels right for your comfort and goals. Consent is ongoing throughout every appointment.
No. Pelvic floor physiotherapy supports patients of all genders and life stages. Men experience pelvic floor conditions too — including urinary incontinence, post-prostatectomy recovery, chronic pelvic pain, and sexual health concerns — and benefit from the same evidence-based assessment and treatment principles. Our team creates a judgment-free, supportive environment where every patient receives whole-person care.
Yes — pelvic floor physiotherapy is safe and beneficial during pregnancy. Treatment can address pelvic girdle pain, low back pain, urinary frequency, and other common pregnancy-related symptoms, and prepare your body for labour and delivery. Postpartum, we support healing of the pelvic floor and core, address diastasis recti, manage pelvic organ prolapse, and guide a safe, progressive return to exercise.
The number of sessions varies based on your condition, goals, and how your body responds to treatment. Some patients see meaningful improvement within a few visits, while complex or longstanding conditions may benefit from a longer course of care. After your initial assessment, your physiotherapist will give you a clear sense of the expected timeline and review your progress throughout treatment.
