How It Work
Your Path to Wellness
What is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?
Pelvic health physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and nerves of the pelvic floor. This area plays a crucial role in various bodily functions, including:
-
Urinary control:
Pelvic floor muscles help maintain bladder control and prevent incontinence. -
Bowel function:
These muscles contribute to proper bowel control and stool consistency. -
Sexual health:
Pelvic floor strength and flexibility are essential for sexual function in both men and women. -
Core stability:
The pelvic floor is part of the ‘inner unit’ of muscles that work alongside your core to support your spine and posture.

Bloor West Village Pelvic Health
Physiotherapy is the first-line of support against urinary incontinence and pelvic pain.
Specialized pelvic health physiotherapists, diagnose pelvic floor disorder by using internal and also external “hands-on” or hand-operated strategies to examine the function of the pelvic floor muscles. A thorough assessment will be done on the first visit by our Registered Pelvic Health Physiotherapists.
What is the Pelvic Floor
The pelvic floor is comprised of a group of deep pelvic floor muscles that attach in the pelvic region (including the pelvic bone, sit bones-ischial tuberosities and the tailbone-sacrum).
The Pelvic floor helps to:
- Support organs such as the bladder, uterus and rectum
- Control the urethral, vaginal and rectal opening (ie. assist with preventing leakage from these openings)
- Provide tone, blood flow and lymphatic flow
- Support the hips and low back
- Our services are covered by Extended Health benefits (all of our locations directly bill to insurance companies)

I have no issue with my pelvic floor, is it still beneficial to see a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist?
It is very common for a person to come see a Pelvic Physiotherapist as a proactive and prevention approach to avoid issues from occurring in the future. For example a woman that is planning on becoming pregnant may want to get a Pelvic assessment done to see what the strength of her pelvic muscles is and to also learn how to control and activate her pelvic floor (as this is an area that can become weak postpartum). A pelvic assessment provides a wealth of knowledge for the individual. For example, it can provide detailed insights on the working of your pelvic floor and the ability (or inability) to control these muscles from an internal control perspective. Inability to control and use these muscles may not show direct symptoms on a day to day basis, however over time can be an indicator that something may become an issue in the near future. Education and understanding your own body is a crucial part to the pelvic assessment. Our sessions are not rushed and are aimed at understanding your body and concerns and working with you to find answers and solutions that fit your life and lifestyle.
Do I need to get an internal assessment of my pelvic floor?
Internal assessments are traditionally part of the initial pelvic assessment however if this is something you are not comfortable with, do not worry, the therapist can still have a very in depth assessment without it. Our Pelvic Therapist is able to still provide a comprehensive assessment and key follow up insights.

Frequently Ask Question
General Questions
Your pelvic floor, SI joints, abdominal and thigh connective tissue, and lower back may all be evaluated during the physical examination for pelvic health physiotherapy. A pelvic floor evaluation includes evaluating the strength of the pelvic floor as well as doing an interior exam to search for trigger points.
Kegel and breathing exercises are two of the more focused exercises in pelvic health physiotherapy, as they help your body release more stress than most other exercises. Your therapist may also provide you with a routine to work with, depending on your physical condition and requirements.
A pelvic health physiotherapy session’s duration varies based on the patient’s condition and course of treatment. For first assessments, sessions often last 60 minutes, and for follow-up consultations, they typically run 30 to 60 minutes.
Look for a pelvic health physiotherapist with specialized training in pelvic health physiotherapy, experience in treating pelvic conditions, strong communication skills, and appropriate certification in women’s or pelvic health.
