Pelvic Health

Our Pelvic Health program offers a multi-layered approach dedicated to improving women’s access to care. Our services target the individual needs of pre and postnatal clients, as well as clients with other pelvic health conditions. Assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction can make a huge impact on quality of life as these muscles are integral for good bladder, bowel, and sexual function. We aim to create a care plan tailored to your individual needs and lifestyle.

Clients with the following conditions can benefit from Pelvic Health Physiotherapy:

Pregnancy and Postpartum recovery | Incontinence (Urinary or fecal) | Overactive bladder (frequency or urgency)

Pelvic organ prolapse | Perineal bulging | Constipation

Pelvic pain | Pubic symphysis | SI joint pain | Diastasis rectus abdominis (DRA) | Constipation

Ahead of your first appointment with your Pelvic Health Physiotherapist, you will be provided with a survey so we can learn a bit more about where your areas of concern are. We understand that this can be a sensitive subject, and to ensure your comfort, we encourage you to consult with our pelvic health Physiotherapists Brigitta Hicks, Gemma Paciocco, and Kelsey Hindmarch ahead of your appointment.
