Pelvic floor physiotherapy has emerged as one of the fastest-growing areas of specialized healthcare in Ottawa, Ontario. While once rarely discussed, thousands of Ottawa residents now seek pelvic floor rehabilitation to resolve bladder leakage, bowel issues, pelvic organ prolapse, and pain during intimacy.
The pelvic floor is a critical group of muscles at the base of your pelvis, supporting your bladder, uterus (in women), and bowel. When these muscles are too tight, too weak, or poorly coordinated, they can cause symptoms that disrupt your daily life.
Common Symptoms Treated with Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
What to Expect During Your Ottawa Pelvic Floor Assessment
Your comfort and privacy are our top priorities. At LePro Wellness Center, all sessions take place in a private, quiet room. Your first session will include a thorough discussion of your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle goals. If you are comfortable, an internal assessment may be recommended to check muscle strength, tone, and coordination. This is the gold standard for creating a precise treatment plan, though we can begin treatment using external evaluation techniques if you prefer.
How Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Can Help
Based on your evaluation, your plan may include:
Targeted Strengthening (Kegels & Beyond)
If weakness is identified, we guide you on how to perform pelvic floor exercises correctly. Research shows up to 50% of people perform Kegels incorrectly without guidance.
Myofascial Release & Muscle Relaxation
If your pelvic floor muscles are hypertonic (too tight), we use gentle internal and external manual techniques to release tension and relieve pain.
Core & Pelvis Integration
We integrate pelvic floor exercises with your abdominal, hip, and diaphragm function to restore stable, whole-body movement.
Bladder & Bowel Retraining
Practical guidance on dietary adjustments, optimal posture, and behavioral strategies to regulate habits and eliminate urgency.
Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Covered by Insurance in Ottawa?
Yes, pelvic floor physiotherapy is performed by a Registered Physiotherapist, meaning it falls under standard physiotherapy coverage in your extended health benefits plan. LePro Wellness Center offers direct billing to major insurance providers, making it easy to access the care you need.
