Physio & Pelvic Floor

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!
