Physio & Pelvic Floor
physiotherapy & pelvic floor physio
Our physiotherapists have additional training in pelvic floor physio, rehabilitation, and orthopedic physio. Physiotherapy can diagnose and treat patients with persistent pain by taking a biopsychosocial approach.
Pelvic floor therapy is used to address a range of conditions related to the pelvic region.
People planning for a vaginal birth benefit from learning how to soften their pelvic floor muscles. Pelvic floor therapy can reduce trauma during birth and shorten the duration of the pushing stage of birth.
Whether you have pelvic floor pain related to pregnancy, or concerns such as bladder/bowel leakage, urgency/frequency, or pain, our physiotherapy team is here to help you!

Sports and physical activity are excellent for child and teen health, fitness, and self-esteem (at any age). Active youth benefit in many ways, but sports and exercise injuries can happen because they are still growing and vulnerable to unique sports injuries that can limit participation and affect long-term development and musculoskeletal growth.

- Advice on acute care
- Education on taping, bracing and modification of activity

The first few years of a child's life are critical to their growth and motor development. Optimum motor development occurs when infants and toddlers explore different environments and experience diverse movements.
Sometimes, health issues can disrupt growth and motor development, but with the support of a PT, infants and toddlers can develop good movement for life.

Latch me if you can - Infant feeding course
"Latch me if you can" is as cheeky of a statement as it can be true of infant feeding - Feeding a new baby can be tricky, especially when you are sleep deprived and (attempting to) recover from a labour and birth experience. This infant feeding course was designed to help prepare a parent with infant feeding either before, or after baby arrives.
