As Pelvic Health Physiotherapists we can specialize in the treatment of pelvic health concerns. Our goal is to assist our patients in resuming their daily or nightly activities as quickly as possible. Our ultimate goal is the ability to help decrease the impact that their pelvic health is having on their lives. What makes us different from other physiotherapists is our training to assess the pelvic floor muscles directly through the vagina or the rectum.
We can assist women during and after pregnancy (the most common reason women seek our help), children who are having difficulties eliminating their bowel and/or have bladder problems that may be a cause of low confidence and self-esteem, and men who may suffer from bladder or sexual dysfunction as a result of the prostrate impacting the surrounding tissues.
Contact us for an assessment to determine if our pelvic health treatment is the right treatment for you.
