A specialized form of therapy, pelvic health physiotherapy is a specific type of treatment that’s designed to assess tissues, muscles, and nerves in the pelvic region.
Our approach to pelvic health physiotherapy can help with:
Treatment of incontinence (leakage) or urine, which is experienced by as many as 50% of women
Core weakness, including post-abdominal surgery and post-hysterectomy
Symptoms related to menopause
Sexual health concerns
Pelvic organ prolapse
Pain in the lower back, sacroiliac joint, and hips
The pelvis is a complex structure made of muscle, ligaments and bones. It is an essential part of core stability and one of the most overused and undervalued parts of the human body.
Our clinic educates clients to understand how the pelvis works, which empowers our clients to shift their attitudes, thoughts, and beliefs about this region of the body.
We often hold our stress in our pelvis, so our clinic helps our patients develop awareness of what is—and what is not—a “normal” feeling.
Many people experience issues with balance at some point in their lives. The vestibular system—better known as the inner ear and brain—helps control balance and eye movement.
If you experience an injury, illness or physical change to any of these systems, you might experience vertigo, imbalance, hearing problems, nausea and vomiting, headaches, motion sensitivity, and intolerance of crowds.
Our goal with vestibular rehabilitation is to assess the potential causes and get straight to the source of your balance issue.
Our therapists use individualized exercises to improve balance function to help symptoms of dizziness and vertigo.
Dizziness can be a scary thing to experience, so our approach will help you regain confidence with every step.
No matter what, we always try to get to the root cause of an issue—and fix it for good.

Psychotherapy can help treat challenges and symptoms relating to mental health and emotions.
Psychotherapy, is a way to help people with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. The goal is to help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.
Problems helped by psychotherapy include difficulties in coping with daily life; the impact of trauma, medical illness or loss, like the death of a loved one; and specific mental disorders, like depression or anxiety.
The goals of treatment and arrangements for how often and how long to meet are planned jointly by the patient and therapist.
Therapy may be conducted in an individual, family, couple, or group setting, and can help both children and adults.

To help you feel right at home during your appointment, here’s an overview of what you can expect:
Before your appointment: We’ll get to know you through paperwork that specifies your current problem, your pain, and your previous medical history. While the questionnaire might seem lengthy, every question is important for your therapist to do their best work.
Your first appointment: One hour in length, which allows for the opportunity to meet your therapist and discuss your goals and concerns. A comprehensive musculoskeletal scan is done on every client.
If you’re a vestibular client: The physiotherapist will complete an assessment of your eye and head movements, which includes walking and balance and a general overview of your musculoskeletal system.
If you’re a pelvic floor client: Consent is always required prior to every internal exam. We’ll examine the abdominal wall and all the muscles externally around the pelvis for excessive tension. There are no stirrups or speculums used like in a pap smear.
We find that this part of the assessment is critical for getting you a proper treatment plan. However, if for any reason this is not something you are comfortable with we can discuss other options.
During this specific exam, you will lie comfortably on your back and will be discreetly covered with a sheet while we examine:
The skin and external musculature of the perineum are examined to look for skin irritation, prolapse (vaginally or rectally), and any other issues.
The internal connective tissue and skin to ensure overall health and proper movement.
The strength of your pelvic health by observing contraction of the pelvic floor during the internal exam.
The coordination, endurance and fatigue-ability of the muscles.
Following the assessment, we’ll explain our findings, the issues, and our goals. You’ll leave the appointment with specific education, exercises and strategies to help you manage your individual issues and concerns.
Follow-up appointments with your physiotherapist are 30 minutes work together towards your goals. Supported by physiotherapy best practices, the treatment can include manual therapy (mobilization, soft tissue techniques, stretching, muscle activation, connective tissue techniques) acupuncture, cupping, taping and tailored movement programs, and education (stress management, sleep, nutrition).
If you’re a vestibular client, your individualized treatment program may include one or more of the following:
balance retraining exercises
specific vestibular exercises
repositioning (Epley’s) maneuver for BPPV (Benign Paroxysmal Positional Vertigo)
