Is there only one piece to the puzzle?

For many patients, pelvic health physiotherapy is all it takes! The partnership that you form with your physiotherapist at A Body In Motion Rehab is life-long! We are always available to answer questions, provide support or review self-care techniques to ensure that you maintain your gains long-term.

Some patients will require referrals to other health care providers and these may include physicians or specialists, sex therapists, nutritionists, massage therapists and others. Should this be required, we will assist you in finding a health care provider that will meet your needs as an individual. We are always here to help!

We are on to something here…

Kegel exercises are not for everyone and when they are useful, they are often done incorrectly! Pelvic floor dysfunctions can be caused by weak pelvic floor muscles OR tight pelvic floor muscles. With already existing tight pelvic floor muscles, Kegels, which are used to tighten, may potentially do more harm than good! Your pelvic floor muscles need to contract to maintain control of your bladder and relax to allow for urination, bowel movements and sexual function. They must function as a well-running machine.

You do what???

Pelvic Health Physiotherapists are registered physiotherapists who have specialized in treatment of the pelvic health concerns. Like physiotherapists in other settings, our goal is to assist our patients in resuming their daily or nightly activities as quickly as possible. Our ultimate goal being the ability to help decrease the impact that their pelvic health is having on their lives. What makes us different from other physiotherapists is our training to assess the pelvic floor muscles directly through the vagina or the rectum. This generally illicits reactions that range from shock to intrigue. Responses are often varied and many are skeptical but that is ok because it gives the opportunity to discuss a topic that we are so passionate about!

Who do we treat???

We treat women of all ages and for a wide range of issues. Young athletes who may have incontinence issues, women pre and post pregnancy, sedentary women with pain issues, bowel or bladder issues and pre or post menopausal women may all benefit from pelvic health physiotherapy.

We also treat men! Men have pelvic floor muscles too which means that they can suffer from many of the same problems that women do. Men can experience incontinence, rectal pain, constipation, ejaculation problems, prostatitis that does not respond to antibiotics and the list goes on.
