You are doing everything you were told. Resting. Waiting. Maybe trying Kegels. But months after your baby arrived, the leaking, the pelvic pain, the scar tightness, and the exhaustion are still there. You were told this is normal. It does not have to be.
We assess the whole picture, not just the symptom.
We look at your pelvic floor, joint mechanics, and any scar tissue from delivery together, because treating any one of them in isolation is why most postpartum care stalls.
Advanced therapies combined with targeted rehabilitation.
When appropriate, we pair pelvic floor physiotherapy with focused shockwave, EMTT, and manual care, addressing what exercises alone cannot reach.
We stay with you until real function returns.
We do not discharge you the moment symptoms ease. We build a graded return-to-activity plan that carries you back to running, lifting, and everything else you want to do again.
60-minute one-on-one assessment + treatment plan.
No pressure, no contracts.
If any of this sounds familiar, you're in the right place.
Leaking when you cough, laugh, sneeze, or try to exercise
Pelvic heaviness or pressure, like something is falling or dropping
Pubic bone, SI joint, or tailbone pain when walking, rolling in bed, or climbing stairs
Sex is still painful or uncomfortable months after delivery
Core weakness, belly "doming," or lost trust in your trunk when lifting your baby
Tightness, pulling, or numbness around a C-section or episiotomy scar
You have been told "it is normal" or "just wait it out," and you know something still is not right.
The Real Problem
Explore 4 slides on Pregnancy & Postpartum: Preparation for birth and rehabilitation afterwards.
Most people have several of these happening at once. That is why we assess the whole chain, from your pelvic floor and deep abdominals to your sacroiliac joints and any delivery-related scar tissue, not just the spot that hurts most.
OUR APPROACH
INITIAL VISIT
Pelvic floor function testing covering muscle strength, coordination, tone, and endurance
Lumbopelvic joint screening and scar tissue evaluation of C-section, perineal, or episiotomy sites
A written clinical plan with transparent recommendations and pricing before any commitment is made
Weeks 1 to 8
Pelvic health physiotherapy targeting pelvic floor retraining, breathing coordination, and gentle core activation
Massage therapy to support muscle function, reduce postpartum tension, and complement pelvic floor work
Chiropractic care to address pelvic alignment and lumbopelvic joint mechanics contributing to pain
Once healing milestones are met: focused shockwave for scar remodelling or stress urinary incontinence, and EMTT as a supportive adjunct for pain and tissue response
Make carrying your baby, walking, and daily movement manageable and pain-free.
8+ Weeks and Beyond
Graded strength programming for pelvic floor, hip, and trunk, progressed by symptoms and healing milestones rather than a fixed calendar
A structured return-to-activity plan for running, lifting, exercise classes, and sport built around your specific goals
Ongoing support until you reach your return-to-activity targets, not just until symptoms ease
What To Expect
Every case is different, but research and our clinical experience consistently show:
Many patients notice meaningful improvement in leaking and pelvic symptoms within 4 to 8 weeks of starting targeted pelvic floor rehabilitation, with continued gains through 6 months of care.
Structured postpartum rehabilitation supports safe return to daily activity, exercise, and sport, with pelvic floor strength and endurance gains that outlast symptom improvement alone.
Addressing pelvic floor, joint mechanics, and scar tissue together, rather than any one in isolation, is consistently associated with better outcomes than single-modality postpartum care.
Our promise: we will tell you honestly at the assessment if we do not believe you are a good candidate for this approach. If your condition needs something different, we will refer you directly.
EVIDENCE
Pelvic floor muscle training has been shown to reduce the odds of postpartum urinary incontinence by 37%, confirmed by a meta-analysis of seven randomized controlled trials involving nearly 2,000 women.
Starting pelvic floor exercises during pregnancy reduces the risk of urinary leaking in late pregnancy and in the months after delivery, according to a Cochrane systematic review.
Low-intensity shockwave therapy improved stress urinary incontinence symptoms in 84.5% of treated participants at the 6-month follow-up in a randomized controlled trial.
Multimodal rehabilitation programs combining exercise, education, and manual therapy outperform single-modality approaches for pregnancy-related lumbopelvic pain, based on systematic review evidence.
Canadian postpartum physical activity guidelines support a gradual, symptom-based return to movement, with measurable health and pelvic floor improvements documented across the first postpartum year.
Outcomes are group averages from clinical trials. Individual results vary based on presentation, healing, and adherence.
BY THE NUMBERS
