Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help you feel better supported, steady, and in control.

If you’re dealing with bladder or bowel changes, pelvic pain, postpartum concerns, or discomfort that interrupts daily life, pelvic floor physiotherapy offers a gentle yet effective path forward. With a skilled practitioner, learn how your pelvic floor works, reconnect with your core, and discover how to move with greater ease and confidence. With skilled guidance and a plan made just for you, you can rebuild strength, reduce tension, and understand your body in a way that feels empowering and supportive.

How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Helps

Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps you move, feel, and function better by addressing issues in the muscles that support your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. When these muscles aren’t working well, you may experience pain, tension, weakness, or changes in bladder or bowel habits. These concerns are common and very treatable. The goal is to help you understand your body, feel supported, and build confidence in your health

Reduce bladder or bowel leaks, urgency, or constipation

What to Expect at Your First Visit

Your first appointment is a chance to tell your story in a comfortable, supportive environment.

Let’s Talk

We start with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, and what you hope to achieve. Every detail helps us understand how your body is working and what may be contributing to your symptoms.

Assess Where You’re At

A pelvic floor physiotherapist will complete a physical assessment. This may include a gentle movement screen to look at posture, breathing, core engagement, and how your hips, lower back, and pelvis work together.

Pelvic Floor Exam

If appropriate, and only with your full consent, we may recommend an external or internal pelvic floor exam. This can give valuable insight into how the muscles contract, relax, and coordinate.

Introduction to Your Baseline

Receive clear education on how your pelvic floor is currently performing so you understand what’s happening and why. You’ll also receive simple exercises or strategies to start at home right away, alongside guidance on how to take things further at our clinic.

Start Your Plan

Together, we will build a pelvic floor physiotherapy plan that feels realistic, supportive, and aligned with your goals.

Frequently Asked Questions

No referral is required. You can book an appointment anytime. Some insurance plans may ask for one to process reimbursement, so it’s worth checking your benefits beforehand.

Your initial visit includes a thorough conversation about your health history, symptoms, and goals, followed by a physical assessment that may involve movement testing and, if appropriate and with your consent, an internal pelvic floor exam. You’ll also leave with education, exercises, and a personalized treatment plan.

No. Internal exams are only performed with your full consent and when you feel completely ready. While they can offer helpful information, there are many effective assessment and treatment options that don’t require one.

Absolutely. Babies are always welcome, and you’re encouraged to bring your partner or any support person if it helps you feel more comfortable.

Wear comfortable clothing that allows for easy movement. Items like leggings or joggers work well. You may be asked to remove certain layers for assessment, but your comfort, choice, and privacy are always the priority.

The focus is always on finding a conservative, non-surgical approach first. Most people see meaningful improvement with consistent follow-up, regular home exercises, and sometimes even education alone which can ease stress and help you better understand your body.

It varies based on your goals, symptoms, and how your body responds. Some people notice changes within a few appointments, while others benefit from longer-term care. We’ll talk through this together and build a plan that feels right for you.

Not at all! Pelvic floor physiotherapy supports women at all stages of life, including during pregnancy, postpartum, menopause, and beyond.
