Pelvic Health Physiotherapy

Pelvic health physiotherapy or pelvic floor physiotherapy involves a thorough pelvic floor assessment and treatment of conditions involving your pelvic floor to help improve your body’s function and well-being.

Your pelvic floor muscles are the foundation of the body and a vital part of your core. When this whole unit of the core and pelvic floor are not working well or coordinating as they should, it may lead to pelvic floor dysfunction (such as pelvic floor tension or pelvic floor weakness, prolapse, incontinence, etc.), chronic pelvic pain issues or sexual dysfunction.

Our Services

In addition to pelvic health physiotherapy, we provide a variety of specialized health services to ensure all of your pelvic health needs are met. Whether it be for pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, prenatal/postnatal pelvic floor concerns or some other type of pelvic floor dysfunction, we can help you.

Our pelvic floor physiotherapists are expertly trained in a variety of manual therapy techniques and pelvic floor muscle training modalities to help you optimize your pelvic floor health. Our services are certainly more than just ‘kegel exercises’.

Our Team

We are highly specialized in providing multi-disciplinary pelvic care to all genders and all ages. Our experienced team of pelvic floor physiotherapists and other allied health professionals will guide you towards your specific and personal pelvic health and wellness goals.

Our team treats in a holistic manner, taking into account the many biopsychosocial factors that can influence a person’s pelvic floor function.

We work collaboratively as a cohesive team to ensure we create and follow through with individualized assessment and treatment plans for our clients.

Whether you are looking to take a proactive approach to your pelvic health to help prevent future issues, or motivated to resolve recurring pelvic symptoms, we will guide you through the process in a way that will help allay your fears and hesitations.

We know that not every client is comfortable or fully understands what is involved with pelvic health exams so yes, we will thoroughly explain the process and with informed consent, support you through your treatment, at your own pace and without undue pressure. We’ve got you!

I had such a great experience here. Amy Price was fantastic to work with and really helped me recover postpartum. She eased my worries, made me feel comfortable and gave me the strength and confidence to return to my everyday activities. I will recommend Proactive Pelvic Health Centre and Amy to all my friends who are pregnant for both prenatal and postnatal care. Thank you so much!
