​

Here is how PelviFloor can help:

Labor and delivery preparation

  • Learn about the different phases of labor including baby positioning, and the optimal techniques to decrease labor time.

  • Learn how to effectively push your baby out the vaginal canal and minimize tearing.

  • Understand how the body works during birth, including the nervous system, pelvic area and hormonal changes.

  • Consider your personalized birth options.

  • Explore physical and emotional strategies to stay comfortable during labor. 

  • Include your partner in the birth experience, so they can support you.

  • Learn how to advocate for yourself during your pregnancy and birth.

Ergonomic tips

Physiotherapists often educate patients on proper posture for:

​

  • sitting

  • standing

  • lifting baby and car seat

  • change of position/ transitions in bed, sit to stand, from floor to standing up

  • breastfeeding 

  • baby care after c-section or vaginal birth

 

preventing muscular strain.

C-section preparation

 

Prepare for a smoother, faster recovery with our specialized C-Section Recovery Protocol.  

This service will help you feel more confident and ready for delivery, while also laying the foundation for a more comfortable recovery while taking care of your newborn. 

​

In post-partum, you'll be guided through the c-section scar rehabilitation to prevent adhesions which could lead to pelvic floor issues later on such as urgencies, pain with intercourse, bowel dysfunctions, abdominal and lower back pain.

Generalized body aches

Struggling with back pain, tailbone discomfort, or "mommy's wrist"?  

Our physiotherapists specialize in treating common prenatal and postpartum aches.

​

Whether it's pain from:

  • feeding

  • sitting for extended period of times

  • having a traumatic delivery experience

  • lifting your baby and the car seat all day long

  • experiencing a weaker core / diastasis recti (mommy's pouch)

  • c-section scar

 

we offer personalized treatments to relieve discomfort and restore mobility. 

Blocked milk ducts 

 

Our physiotherapists offer a specialized treatment to clear the blocked milk ducts and prevent any mastitis.

Using a combination of modalities,  manual therapy, and advice on positioning and feeding techniques, we help reduce pain, clear blockages, and improve milk flow.

Our goal is to support you through this challenging time and ensure a more comfortable, successful breastfeeding experience.
