Pelvic health physiotherapy (also referred to as ‘pelvic floor physiotherapy’) is an area of physiotherapy that is focus on the assessment and treatment of the pelvic floor and surrounding structures.

Pelvic health physiotherapy can address, treat and optimize:

• bladder health
• bowel health
• sexual health
• pain management
• movement

Pelvic health physiotherapy involves taking a holistic and integrative approach by not only looking at the pelvic floor, but also investigating and role of other body systems in an individual’s symptoms. This may include taking a look at other aspects of an individual’s life such as: diet, nutrition, sleep habits, exercise, and stress management.

Pelvic health physiotherapists have received additional training to give them the skills and knowledge required to treat clients with various pelvic floor concerns. This may or may not include internal vaginal and rectal assessment and treatment techniques.

Pelvic health physiotherapy is an area of physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of a variety of pelvic floor dysfunctions. Not all physiotherapists perform pelvic floor physiotherapy or treat pelvic floor dysfunction.

Pelvic health physiotherapists have completed additional training to be able to assess and treat pelvic floor dysfunction. They work with clients of all ages and genders with the goal of conservative management of pelvic floor dysfunction.

Pelvic health physiotherapists are physiotherapists FIRST — their ultimate goal is to get to moving better and give you the tools and skills to help you return to your optimal functioning.

Physiotherapists are primary health care practitioners which means you do not need a referral to come and see a physiotherapist. If you have extended health care coverage, your insurance company may require a referral in order to process your claims. If you plan on claiming your physiotherapy appointments with your insurance company, it is best to give them a call first to find out their specific requirements.
