What is Pelvic Health?
Pelvic health concerns are common and often overlooked, but they are not normal—and effective treatment is available. Pelvic physiotherapy focuses on the muscles and organs of the pelvis — including the bladder, bowel, and reproductive system.
Pelvic health therapy can help with:
Leaking urine or stool
Pelvic pain, pressure or constipation
Pain with sex or movement
Pregnancy and postpartum recovery
A pelvic health physiotherapist uses gentle, evidence-based techniques like movement, breathwork, muscle retraining, education, and hands-on therapy to reduce symptoms and restore function.
How is Pelvic Health Assessed?
Pelvic health physiotherapy begins with a detailed conversation about your symptoms, health history, and goals. Assessment can be done externally or internally, depending on your comfort and needs.
External assessment may include observing posture, breathing patterns, core and hip strength, pelvic alignment, and movement. Your physiotherapist may also gently feel the muscles and tissues around your pelvis, hips, and abdomen to check for tension, weakness, or pain.
Internal assessment (through the vagina or rectum) allows your physiotherapist to directly assess the pelvic floor muscles—checking their strength, coordination, tone, and ability to relax. This can provide important insight into the cause of symptoms like bladder or bowel leakage, pelvic pain, or prolapse.
Internal assessment is always explained in detail, done only with your consent, and you can stop or switch to external assessment at any time. Your comfort is always the number one priority.

Pelvic floor issues can affect people of all genders and ages—not just women or those who have given birth. Everyone has a pelvic floor, and it plays a role in bladder and bowel control, sexual function, and core support.
Our clinic provides services to men, women, non-binary, and gender-diverse people, as well as those going through gender-affirming care. Treatment is tailored to your body, your needs, and your goals—always with a safe, respectful, and inclusive approach.
No matter your gender identity or life stage, your pelvic health matters.
Conditions we treat that are specifically applicable to those with male anatomy include erectile dysfunction, urine/stool leakage, post-prostatectomy or radiation treatment, or any type of pelvic pain.

About
“My interest in pelvic health started early on as I realized just how many people struggle with hidden health concerns. I discovered the integral role the pelvic floor plays in our daily quality of life, and wanted to be part of the movement to de-stigmatize, advocate, and truly make a difference for those living with pelvic health dysfunction. I want to help close the huge gap that currently exists in our healthcare system, and can’t think of a better way to do it. I have a special interest in getting you back to sport/activity due to my background in martial arts and other various sports.
Whether it’s your very first physiotherapy appointment or you’re a seasoned regular, the most important thing to me is making sure you feel safe, comfortable and empowered every session. My goal is always to work collaboratively to create a treatment plan that works for you and your unique situation”
Outside clinic hours you can find me lifting weights at the gym, mountain biking, trail running, skiing at Troll, hitting some Muay Thai pads, or trying new recipes!” - Nicola
