Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is a specialized area of physiotherapy that requires post-graduate education and certification registered with the College of Physiotherapists. A Pelvic Health Physiotherapist assesses and treats conditions related to the muscles, fascia, ligaments, and nerves in the pelvis, aiming to regain optimal function of the pelvic floor and region, achieve healthy bladder and bowel control, ideal muscle strength and pelvic organ support, and pain-free (sexual) function.
Treatment modalities may include myofascial release therapy, muscle strengthening exercises with manual facilitation, trigger point release, diastasis function conditioning, joint mobilization of the lumbar spine, coccyx, and hips, as well as biofeedback and electro stimulation (pain-free). Our pelvic floor physiotherapists have developed advanced expertise in this field and can address issues affecting both men and women. If you have any questions, please do not hesitate to contact one of our pelvic floor physiotherapists.
MORE THAN JUST MUSCLES
Massage therapy involves hands-on manipulation of the body's tissues, primarily the muscles and connective tissues, with the goal of improving one's health. Based on modern concepts of anatomy, massage therapy encompasses a variety of modalities that go beyond the traditional framework of Swedish massage.
OVERCOME PAIN
Massage has been shown to increase the body's production of pain-killing endorphins and the mood-altering hormone serotonin. It can also slow the release of the stress hormone cortisol. Tense muscles that may also compress blood vessels and stretch nerves, restricting blood flow and causing pain. As the affected area is massaged, the muscles gradually release their stranglehold on the irritated nerves, and the pain eases. The same mechanisms also make massage helpful in the recovery process for an injured muscle.
