It can also help prepare you for the labour process by teaching you ideal birthing positions, breathing and relaxation techniques, and perineum stretching. Diastasis recti can also be prevented through pelvic floor physiotherapy during pregnancy. Reduce Risk of Tearing Pelvic floor physiotherapy can be an effective way to prepare for the birthing process. Beginning during the second or third trimester of your pregnancy is ideal, as it can increase the elasticity of your muscles and ensure that your muscles are prepared to give birth. Pelvic physiotherapy during pregnancy is also an effective preventative measure for other pelvic floor dysfunctions that are common during and after childbirth, such as incontinence and organ prolapse. Maintaining activity levels during pregnancy is an important step for strength and flexibility, and physiotherapists are able to help educate you about safe exercises and activities that can benefit you in the birthing process and beyond. Preparing for Birth with Perineal Massage and Pushing Techniques Near the end of your pregnancy, a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist can perform a perineal massage (or teach you how to do it yourself) to help stretch the vaginal muscles and prepare for birth. Some therapists also help provide education on optimal labour and delivery positions and how to push to avoid prolapse. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631630403522-O7P5G85ONT89IAJP61F1/M%26C+Expert+Intro+Photos.png Articles - Why You Should Consider Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Pregnancy and Postpartum - Virtual Pelvic Support On-Demand Want to submit a question and get a personalized video answer back?

With birth control pills, pregnancy, childbirth, and menopause enormous changes happen to our bodies. During menopause, estrogen levels decrease and hormones begin to change, which can impact sexual function in women. Because estrogen levels are integral for the healthy functioning of vaginal tissue, intercourse can become painful when estrogen levels fall and cause tissues to become drier and thinner. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help relax and stretch tightened muscles, and strengthen the pelvic area in order to improve these symptoms. Strengthening the affected muscles through physiotherapy can help provide support for the pelvic organs, thus lessening pain or discomfort. Relaxing the pelvic muscles through physical therapy can also improve pelvic health when muscles are tense or inflexible. Perimenopause and menopause are associated with a number of pelvic floor dysfunctions including stress incontinence, urge incontinence, mixed incontinence, and organ prolapse, which are all treatable through pelvic floor physiotherapy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631720564883-QY653FYSB7JESE2JFEQI/iStock-1176992857.jpg Articles - Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy - What it is and How it can help - What to expect from a pelvic assessment Image Source: Wikipedia https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631721828395-QKOFMO89FQUKPKYEYZFD/unsplash-image-i-ePv9Dxg7U.jpg Articles - Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy - What it is and How it can help - Symptoms and conditions Pelvic Physiotherapy can treat Pelvic Pain Tight muscle tone and a reduced capacity for stretching the pelvic floor may be indicative of a hypertonic pelvic floor. This occurs when the muscles are unable to relax and become too tense-- tension may also be present in surrounding hip and pelvic muscles. A tense pelvic floor can lead to general pain, constipation, pain during sex, urgency, and pelvic pain, in addition to restricted blood flow. A common contributing factor to pelvic pain is scarring, which can occur as a result of trauma to the area-- this includes C-sections, tears during childbirth, vasectomies, bowel surgeries, endometriosis surgeries, or other physical injuries. Often, scar tissue in the surrounding area results in a lack of oxygen and blood flow to the area, resulting in pain. In addition to pain and discomfort, tight pelvic floor muscles can lead to long-term damage. Pelvic physiotherapy can help decrease pain and prevent the occurrence or worsening of long-term damage. Pelvic Pressure and Prolapse When the muscles and tissues that support the pelvic organs (uterus, bladder, or rectum) become loose or weak, pelvic organic prolapse may occur. Given that the pelvic muscles and tissues act as a hammock for the pelvic organs, any weakening or damage to that hammock may result in a failure of the pelvic muscles and tissues to support the organs-- this is what is referred to as a prolapse. As a result, pelvic organs may press or drop into/out of the vagina. Symptoms of a pelvic prolapse include a sense that something is ‘coming out’ of the vagina; feelings of pressure, discomfort, or fullness; incontinence and leakage or bowel movement issues; and difficulty with tampon insertion. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can be an effective treatment for pelvic organ prolapse, as it can assist in the restrengthening of the weakened or damaged muscles. Urinary Incontinence and Bowel Leakage Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help with several types of bladder and anal leakage, including stress leakage (wherein urine leaks due to pressure on the bladder); urgency leakage (wherein urine leakage occurs following a sudden and intense urge to urinate); and mixed bladder leakage (a combination of the previous two types). Fecal incontinence (i.e. an inability to control your bowels, resulting in an urgent need to have a bowel movement) can also be treated with pelvic floor physiotherapy. Biofeedback is one technique that can help strengthen your muscles to help regain control over your bowel movements. Your physiotherapist can help instruct you on how and when to squeeze your muscles in order to effectively control your bowel and bladder. Other common techniques that will assist with leakage include pelvic floor exercises, manual therapy, electrical stimulation, vaginal dilators, and education regarding hygiene and habits that may impact symptoms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631630403522-O7P5G85ONT89IAJP61F1/M%26C+Expert+Intro+Photos.png Articles - Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy - What it is and How it can help - Virtual Pelvic Support On-Demand Want to submit a question and get a personalized video answer back?

Many people suffering from this type of incontinence also tend to urinate often, including throughout the night. This can happen no matter how much urine is actually in your bladder and it can happen without any warning as a result of the sphincter muscle not functioning as it should. Other terms used to describe this are bladder spasms, irritable bladder, spasmodic bladder, or detrusor instability. Unlike stress Incontinence which happens due to a physical activity (e.g. coughing), urge Incontinence generally occurs due to things like the sound of running water, turning the key when you arrive home, or after a single sip of water. Causes and Contributing Factors of Urge Incontinence Bladder infection, bladder inflammation, bladder cancer, bladder stones, neurological disorders like multiple sclerosis (MS) or trauma including a stroke, and diabetes can cause urge incontinence. Urge Incontinence can also occur due to childbirth from damage to the nerves that control the bladder. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631630465666-X9WI93O92JYQVWBFH9NW/25.png Articles - Female Incontinence (Leakage) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631630486471-FM8SPAOT7GETXSFQGMN4/26.png Articles - Female Incontinence (Leakage) - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631630403522-O7P5G85ONT89IAJP61F1/M%26C+Expert+Intro+Photos.png Articles - Female Incontinence (Leakage) - Virtual Pelvic Support On-Demand Want to submit a question and get a personalized video answer back?

In addition to weight, pregnancy and birth can cause the bladder and urethra to move. Childbirth can injure the bladder and the pelvic floor muscles especially with assisted delivery (e.g. forceps) and episiotomies. It is recommended that all postpartum people see a pelvic physiotherapist. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631633150867-CU0ISS77VXA412OIBM2F/stress+incontinence Articles - Female Incontinence (Leakage) - Stress Incontinence Image Source: Wikipedia https://www.qualitycaresi.ca/articles/female-pelvic-floor-and-common-dysfunctions monthly 0.5 2021-10-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631630465666-X9WI93O92JYQVWBFH9NW/25.png Articles - Female Pelvic Floor and Common Dysfunctions - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631628681944-KDN2N6VW0BJ15T3CRBJW/unsplash-image-d2XUZAXo4QU.jpg Articles - Female Pelvic Floor and Common Dysfunctions - How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Can Help Pelvic floor physiotherapy (PFPT) can be beneficial for treating any type of pelvic floor dysfunction, which typically occurs when your muscles are either too weak, or too tight. PFPT begins with an assessment of your symptoms and condition, which involves an external and internal examination of the pelvic floor muscles in order to identify a course of treatment. PFPT is tailored to your individual needs, and will therefore look different depending upon your specific condition. Treatments can range from exercises and manual treatments to electronic monitoring in order to train your muscles back into effective working condition. Pelvic floor physiotherapists can offer advice about daily activities, including proper bladder and bowel habits. Kegels and How to Exercise Your Pelvic Floor Kegels refer to a set of exercises which can help strengthen your pelvic floor muscles in order to tighten and contract those muscles which support your bladder, uterus, small intestine, and rectum. Kegel exercises can benefit you if you experience leakage when sneezing, laughing, or coughing; have a strong and sudden urge to urinate; or leak stool. One type of kegel exercise begins with trying to urinate-- once you begin to urinate, squeeze your muscles in order to cease urination. At this stage, you should feel your muscles lift-- this is a kegel. Repeat this process as you urinate, though it is not recommended that you do kegels every time you pee, as this can cause problems such as urinary tract infections. Kegels can also be done when you are not urinating-- simply squeeze your pelvic floor muscles for 3 seconds, release for 3 seconds, and repeat this process 10 times in order to complete 1 set of kegels. Kegels are not the only type of exercise for strengthening your pelvic floor muscles. Other exercises include knee folds, toe taps, and hip bridges. Knee folds begin by lying on your back with your knees bent. Slowly lower one knee to the floor, and proceed to bring that knee back up. Repeat this process with both knees. Toe taps also begin on your back, and involve lifting your legs up to a tabletop surface, and back down to the floor. Hip bridges involve bringing your hipbones upwards to the sky, and slowly lowering back down to the floor (beginning with your upper back, followed by middle, and lower back) and releasing your pelvic floor muscles once your back has fully reached the floor. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1631111448716-M0P9QQI1KK8W031GSD3G/Quality+Care+%284%29.png Articles - Female Pelvic Floor and Common Dysfunctions - Want a Free Pelvic Consultation?

Certified Athletic Therapists are trained in orthopedic and musculoskeletal (joints, muscles, and bone) centered conditions. They are trained in emergency on-field care for athletes while they compete in their sporting events. Athletic Therapists get extensive training in rehabilitative exercise and conditioning programming. Physiotherapists complete additional schooling beyond orthopedic conditions in areas like cardio-respiratory rehab, pediatrics, geriatrics, stroke rehab, and neurological disorders. Once a diagnosis is made, however, both Athletic Therapists and Physiotherapists use similar techniques and work to achieve similar outcomes. Treatment programs between each designation look very similar in an orthopedic clinic, such as ours. A major difference can be whether your extended healthcare company provides coverage for both or only some of these specific designations. Please check with your provider to see what your benefits will cover. https://www.qualitycaresi.ca/pelvic-floor-physiotherapy daily 0.75 2024-03-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/905ae640-f0d1-4075-bc81-d2802eedf4f4/unsplash-image-SCteCA0Mf1A.jpg Pelvic Floor Health - Pelvic Floor Physio for Mothers (and moms-to-be) Physiotherapists play a vital role in supporting individuals throughout pregnancy and postpartum recovery. For expectant mothers, pelvic floor physiotherapy offers valuable preparation for labor by teaching relaxation techniques to ease pelvic floor tension, promoting birthing without tears, and enhancing muscle control for labor and delivery. Additionally, specialized exercises can help alleviate back pain and pressure commonly experienced during pregnancy. Following childbirth, pelvic floor physiotherapists assess the pelvic floor's condition and provide targeted interventions to aid in healing. These interventions may include addressing scarring, reducing pain or discomfort—especially during intercourse—and managing issues such as prolapse and urinary leakage. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/f7f78d99-fe1b-486e-8ca4-5d35674cbd15/image-asset.jpg Pelvic Floor Health - Understanding Your Pelvic Floor Your pelvic floor comprises a complex network of muscles crucial for supporting the pelvic organs—the bowel, bladder, and reproductive organs. These muscles span from the pubic bone to the tailbone and extend along the ischial tuberosities, forming the foundation of your pelvic region. This intricate system performs a multitude of essential functions, including: 1) Providing vital support for the hips and lower back, contributing to overall stability and mobility. 2) Facilitating the expansion and contraction of the urethra and rectum to maintain continence and ensure smooth urinary and bowel movements. 3) Supporting erectile function and optimal blood flow to the genital region, crucial for sexual health and performance. 4) Minimizing discomfort and preventing pelvic pain, including issues related to prostate health or surgical procedures. Your pelvic floor is more than just a passive structure—it's a dynamic component of your body's anatomy, crucial for everyday functioning and overall well-being, regardless of gender. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/c7b7a657-b799-4a67-b0a6-75b382450b1a/image-asset.jpg Pelvic Floor Health - Pelvic Physiotherapy for Menopause Menopause brings about hormonal changes that can significantly impact pelvic health in women. Symptoms such as vaginal dryness, pain during intercourse, stress or urge incontinence, and prolapse may arise. Pelvic floor physiotherapy offers effective solutions to address these challenges. Through tailored strengthening exercises, relaxation techniques, and comprehensive education, physiotherapists help women navigate the changes associated with menopause. Referral to appropriate healthcare professionals may also be provided as part of the holistic approach to managing menopausal symptoms. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1559493790889-PCQLPWQY9PCN9IULNMNC/QCSIR_Headshots_March19_4-WEB-260px.jpg Pelvic Floor Health - Dorota Kuza, Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/d591a8f9-18fc-4dff-a34e-e612f6b26555/guneet.jpg Pelvic Floor Health - Guneet Khakh, Pelvic Floor Physiotherapist https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/9751a4c8-fd34-47de-a9b2-ae7fa1d56664/unsplash-image-PmNjS6b3XP4.jpg Pelvic Floor Health - Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Rediscover Comfort and Confidence https://www.qualitycaresi.ca/physiotherapy daily 0.75 2025-10-28 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/1627315177919-BSEXM2WBC5PKW4HLUQ44/unsplash-image-0nn2gdz4ZoY.jpg Physiotherapy - Injury Prevention Injury Prevention: Physiotherapists play a crucial role in addressing conditions and concerns during the early stages of pain or dysfunction.

The cornerstone of concussion treatment is rest—both physical and cognitive. This means avoiding activities that require intense thinking or physical exertion, such as sports, video games, or even prolonged screen time. In the days following the injury, closely monitor symptoms. If they worsen or new symptoms appear, seek medical attention promptly. Gradually, as symptoms improve, activities can be reintroduced in a step-by-step manner, ensuring no symptoms return. Always follow the guidance of a healthcare professional throughout the recovery process to avoid complications and ensure a safe return to normal activities. Remember, every concussion is unique, so tailored care is essential. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5ce14527b3da2d0001278892/54c74edb-2471-45a5-889e-50b82ba21bfd/image-asset.jpg Concussion Management and Treatment - Concussion Myths and Facts Myth: You must lose consciousness to have a concussion.
