Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Pelvic health physiotherapy or pelvic floor physiotherapy involves a thorough pelvic floor assessment and treatment of conditions involving your pelvic floor to help improve your body’s function and well-being.
Your pelvic floor muscles are the foundation of the body and a vital part of your core. When this whole unit of the core and pelvic floor are not working well or coordinating as they should, it may lead to pelvic floor dysfunction (such as pelvic floor tension or pelvic floor weakness, prolapse, incontinence, etc.), chronic pelvic pain issues or sexual dysfunction.
Our Services
In addition to pelvic health physiotherapy, we provide a variety of specialized health services to ensure all of your pelvic health needs are met. Whether it be for pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, prenatal/postnatal pelvic floor concerns or some other type of pelvic floor dysfunction, we can help you.
Our pelvic floor physiotherapists are expertly trained in a variety of manual therapy techniques and pelvic floor muscle training modalities to help you optimize your pelvic floor health. Our services are certainly more than just ‘kegel exercises’.

We work collaboratively as a cohesive team to ensure we create and follow through with individualized assessment and treatment plans for our clients.

I had such a great experience here. Amy Price was fantastic to work with and really helped me recover postpartum. She eased my worries, made me feel comfortable and gave me the strength and confidence to return to my everyday activities. I will recommend Proactive Pelvic Health Centre and Amy to all my friends who are pregnant for both prenatal and postnatal care. Thank you so much!
