During an initial assessment, a comprehensive history and evaluation of the injury site is completed. Once the assessment portion is completed we initiate a treatment plan. During the assessment appointment we will begin treatment as time allows. Please remember that in order to effectively help you, we must first understand what the problem is.

During a pelvic floor assessment, a thorough medical history is completed. We ask A LOT of questions about your bowel, bladder and sexual health/function in order to understand your presenting concerns. We understand that pelvic floor concerns are typically sensitive and private. Please know that during your assessment your concerns are taken seriously and your information is kept confidential. After a complete history, a pelvic floor exam is completed. This first involves an external pelvic floor exam and then commonly either a rectal or vaginal internal pelvic floor exam. Once the exams are completed, we discuss the findings and begin treatment. Treatment of pelvic floor concerns often involves education and pelvic floor exercises. To help with exercises, we sometimes use biofeedback. Biofeedback involves placing sensors around the rectal area so that we can read on a computer how well your pelvic floor is contracting.

During pelvic floor follow up treatments, we often reassess your progress and revise your exercises as needed. Frequently we will use biofeedback to help assess the contraction of your pelvic floor muscles.

Physiotherapy home sessions are wonderful for those with mobility concerns are too significant to leave their homes. Please call prior to booking these appointments so that I can come to your home prepared with whatever equipment is necessary to help you.

Treatment sessions typically consist of a combination of manual therapy, exercises, education and/or IMS (dry needling) if indicated.

A great option for those who feel most comfortable receiving physiotherapy assessment and treatment from their homes.
