Pelvic health is often ignored but is vital for overall well-being and activity. If you had a knee injury, you'd expect your physiotherapist to thoroughly assess and treat it—so why should your pelvic floor be any different?

Pelvic Health
Physiotherapy Can Help

We can assess and treat pain in the vagina, rectum, penis, testicles, perineum, and surrounding pelvic areas.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Dysmenorrhea (period pain)

  • Levator ani syndrome

  • Dyspareunia (pain with intercourse)

  • Vulvodynia

  • Vestibulodynia

During pregnancy:

  • Baseline pelvic floor assessment

  • Birth prep strategies (e.g breathing and pushing techniques)

Post-partum:

  • Assessment of pelvic floor muscles

  • Diastasis rectus abdominis assessment

  • Episiotomy or c-section recovery

  • Return to exercise

Leaking is common, but not normal. Leaking with coughing, sneezing or jumping, having sudden or uncontrollable urges to urinate, and frequent urination (more than once every 2 hours) are signs of bladder dysfunction.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Stress incontinence

  • Urge incontinence

  • Mixed incontinence

  • Overactive bladder

  • Interstitial cystitis (bladder pain)

Abdominal pain, bloating, and irregular bowel movements are common signs of bowel dysfunction.

Common conditions we treat:

  • Fecal incontinence

  • Constipation, hemorrhoids

  • Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS)

Have an upcoming surgery? Coming in for an assessment before surgery can allow us to find your baseline, give you exercises to start on, and tips for recovery.

Post-surgery treatment will focus on tissue recovery, building strength and mobility, and getting you back to the activities you enjoy.

Common surgeries we see:

  • Hysterectomy

  • Prostatectomy

  • Endometriosis

  • C-section

  • Fibroid surgery

  • Prolapse surgery

  • Colorectal surgery

Hormonal changes can impact pelvic floor function and health. We can help keep your pelvic floor healthy as you age.

Vaginismus is involuntary tightening of the vaginal muscles causing difficulty with, or inability for, vaginal penetration (e.g. gynecological exams, tampon use, intercourse).

Please note: an internal exam is not required at assessment. We will meet you at your starting point

Feeling of pressure or heaviness in the pelvic area can be a sign of pelvic organ prolapse. 

We can help with:

  • Relieving pressure

  • Keeping you active

Frequently
asked questions

Your initial consultation will involve a detailed assessment of your pelvic health, medical history, and current symptoms. Based on this, we will develop a personalized treatment plan.

Our physiotherapists have completed additional training in pelvic health to become rostered with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario for internal assessment or internal rehabilitation of pelvic musculature.

Absolutely, men have pelvic floors too! Pelvic health issues can affect both men and women throughout all stages of life. Your treatment will be tailored to address your specific needs.

No. Internal exams are not required but can be very informative and are often highly recommended.

Since your pelvic floor muscles are inside your body, being able to touch that area directly by doing an internal vaginal and/or rectal exam is the best way to assess for most conditions.

If you are not comfortable with an internal exam, there are other ways we can assess and help you. Please let your physiotherapist know about any concerns you have.
