How will Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Help Me?
Physiotherapy is internationally recognized as the first choice of treatment for incontinence and prolapse. We use evidence-based therapy techniques and an education-first based approach to treatment. Our hands-on treatment of the joints, muscles, and tissues of the pelvis, and connecting areas of the body, positively impacts your pelvic floor function.

What Is Restore Core & Floor All About?
Restore Core and Floor is a specialized, baby-friendly group exercise class designed to help you safely return to physical activity and exercise while focusing on your pelvic health. Restore Core and Floor is designed for Moms anywhere from 6 weeks postpartum up to 5 years after baby.
