Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Feel Stronger, More Comfortable & Confident
How Can Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Help?
Your pelvic floor is involved in much more than you may realize. These muscles help support your pelvic organs, contribute to bladder and bowel control, work together with your core, and play an important role in sexual function.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy may help you improve bladder and bowel control, reduce pelvic pain and discomfort, improve pelvic floor strength, and more.
Rather than focusing only on your symptoms, we take the time to understand how your pelvic floor, core, breathing, movement and daily activities may be working together.
What Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy focused on the muscles, tissues and structures that support your bladder, bowel, reproductive organs and core.
When these muscles become weak, tight, overactive or difficult to coordinate, you may experience symptoms such as bladder leakage, pelvic pain, pressure, discomfort during intercourse or changes in bowel and bladder function.
At Wintergreen in Oakville, we provide personalized pelvic floor physiotherapy in a comfortable, supportive environment to help you better understand your body and address your symptoms.
You may benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy if you are experiencing:
Urinary leakage or incontinence
Frequently feeling the urgent need to urinate
Pelvic pain or pressure, daily or during intercourse
Constipation or difficulty with bowel movements
Pregnancy-related pelvic or lower back discomfort
Could Your Pelvic Floor Be Causing Your Symptoms?
Postpartum Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Your recovery doesn't end after giving birth.
Whether you had a vaginal delivery or C-section, pregnancy and childbirth can affect your pelvic floor, abdominal muscles and overall strength.
Postpartum pelvic floor physiotherapy can support your recovery by addressing concerns such as urinary leakage, pelvic heaviness or pressure, pelvic pain, core weakness, diastasis recti and discomfort when returning to exercise or intimacy.
Our goal is to help you gradually rebuild strength and confidence so you can return to the activities that matter to you.
