Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in North York

About Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

Pelvic floor physiotherapy at Heal Physiotherapy & Chiropractic in North York focuses on the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction in women and men. Our approach is gentle, evidence-based, and individualized, with the goal of restoring function, reducing pain, and improving quality of life.

 

Pelvic floor conditions are common and treatable. Many people live with symptoms longer than they need to, often believing they are a normal part of aging, pregnancy, or childbirth. Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help address these concerns in a respectful, supportive, and private environment.

What Is the Pelvic Floor?

 

 

 

The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and connective tissues that support the bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. These muscles also play a key role in bladder and bowel control, core stability, posture, breathing, and sexual function.

 

When the pelvic floor muscles are weak, tight, or uncoordinated, symptoms such as leakage, pain, or pressure can occur. Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps restore proper muscle function through education, movement retraining, and hands-on treatment when appropriate.
