Pelvic Health

Understanding the Scope of Pelvic Health: The Conditions We Treat

Pelvic health is an essential, yet often overlooked, component of overall well-being. Whether you're preparing for childbirth, navigating menopause, or managing chronic pelvic pain, pelvic floor physiotherapy offers a holistic and evidence-informed way to restore function, reduce symptoms, and improve your quality of life.

At our clinic, we assess and treat a wide range of pelvic health conditions with a comprehensive, individualized approach.

Below, we outline some of the key areas we specialize in:

1. Pelvic Floor Dysfunction

Pelvic floor dysfunction encompasses a wide range of issues affecting bladder, bowel, and sexual function. This condition can include:

  • Urinary or fecal incontinence
  • Urinary urgency and frequency
  • Overactive bladder
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Dysmenorrhea (painful periods)
  • Pelvic pain disorders, such as:
    • Dyspareunia (pain with intercourse)
    • Endometriosis
    • Coccyx pain
    • Sacroiliac joint dysfunction
    • Interstitial cystitis
    • Vulvodynia

Treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction goes beyond isolated muscle exercises. It involves a whole-body approach, addressing both tissue-based components and the nervous system. We take time to understand your symptoms in the context of your full physical and emotional health, creating a personalized treatment plan that supports long-term healing.

2. Pre-Natal and Post-Natal Pelvic Health

Pelvic floor physiotherapy has become a key part of maternal care—before and after childbirth.

Pre-Natal Care:

Pregnancy brings major changes to your body, and understanding the anatomy and function of your pelvic floor can help you feel more confident and prepared for labor and delivery. Even if you're not experiencing pain, a pelvic floor assessment during pregnancy can:

  • Address pelvic, low back, coccyx, or sacroiliac joint pain
  • Teach strategies to reduce the risk of pelvic floor injury and perineal tearing during childbirth
  • Offer education on posture, breathwork, and perineal massage
  • Empower you with tools to support a smoother birth and recovery

Post-Natal Care:

The postpartum period is often full of adjustments—physically, emotionally, and hormonally. A post-partum pelvic floor assessment helps:

  • Identify and treat any dysfunction early (e.g., incontinence, prolapse, pain)
  • Guide you safely back into physical activity
  • Focus on abdominal wall healing (including diastasis recti)
  • Rebuild core strength and function to support long-term pelvic health

3. Genito-Urinary Syndrome of Menopause (GSM)

Menopause marks the end of your menstrual cycle, but the transition—often beginning with perimenopause—can affect your body in many ways due to declining estrogen levels.

We help women manage a range of menopausal pelvic health concerns, including:

  • Vaginal dryness
  • Pain with sexual activity
  • Urinary incontinence, urgency, or frequency
  • Pelvic organ prolapse
  • Weight management through guided exercise
  • Bone density preservation and strength training

Pelvic health physiotherapy during and after menopause is a safe, effective way to maintain comfort, mobility, and sexual well-being.

4. Male Pelvic Health

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is not just for women—men experience pelvic dysfunction too, though it is often underdiagnosed or overlooked.

Our male pelvic health approach is grounded in Physioyoga techniques and non-invasive assessment methods. We provide education and treatment for issues such as:

  • Urinary incontinence
  • Chronic pelvic pain
  • Post-prostatectomy rehab
  • Sexual dysfunction

Our focus is on restoring function and improving quality of life using a whole-person approach—no internal examination required.
