Maria Gehue

In addition to her orthopaedic caseload, Maria is a trained pelvic floor physiotherapist. She is an active member of the Woman’s Health Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association and a strong advocate for this area of physiotherapy. She believes no mechanical dysfunction should go undiscussed, no matter how sensitive in nature the issues appear. She has completed advanced training to help women suffering from urinary incontinence, over-active bladder, pelvic organ prolapse, dyspareunia/painful intercourse (genito-pelvic pain/penetration disorder), chronic constipation, fecal incontinence/urgency, tailbone pain/trauma, diastasis recti/post-partum core recovery, preparing for and recovery from caesarean birth and vaginal birth, labour and delivery: maternal support through comfort measures and pelvic biomechanics.

Maria is a trained support personal for women during labour and has recently started attending births. She also offers breast feeding support for women and infants, helping common conditions such as mastitis, blocked milk ducts, nipple trauma, engorgement, latch mechanics, tongue tie, and head turning preference.
