Physiotherapy

We assess and treat pregnant women and those who have delivered and are up to six weeks post-birth.  We will only see those who present with acute pain or injuries related to their pregnancy and or birth.
Antepartum

We treat women during their pregnancy for:

  • acute neck, back, pelvic, groin or hip pain
  • pelvic floor concerns (leak urine, gas or stool; pressure or bulging sensation in vagina or rectum)
  • diastasis rectus abdominus (gap or bulging abdominal muscles)
  • pain, numbness or tingling in your hands or wrists
  • lower extremity neuropathies

Note: there will be no internal pelvic floor exams during these appointments. 



Postpartum

We treat women after delivery but only within the first six week post-birth.  This will only be a one-time appointment.   Postpartum we will see patients with:

  • acute neck, back, pelvic, groin or hip pain
  • pelvic floor concerns (leak urine, gas or stool; pressure or bulging sensation in vagina or rectum)
  • diastasis rectus abdominus (gap or bulging abdominal muscles)
