As per the registered health professionals guidelines, we are still seeing clients in-person at the clinic. Virtual appointments will continue to be an be offered as a treatment option. We take a holistic, conservative approach, working 1-on-1 during the entire treatment time, individualizing treatments according to each patient's needs.
We emphasize education and self-care: we are partners in your healthcare. We are constantly learning and upgrading our skills. We have taken and continue to take specialized courses from the leading experts in our field from across the globe. We regularly speak at conferences on pelvic health and teach midwives across the province how to assess and identify pelvic floor dysfunctions.

Chronic Pelvic Pain
Report
Chronic pelvic pain affects 10-15% of North American women and 10% of men. It is pain which may be felt in and around the genitals (vagina, penis or scrotum), the rectum, pelvis, groin, abdomen, hips, thighs or buttocks. It may be mild or severe, constant or only when sitting, vaginal insertion, exercising, cycling, or wearing certain clothing.
Vaginismus
Report
Vaginismus is an uncontrolled spasm of the pelvic floor muscles at the entrance to the vagina, preventing penetration. It can make gynaecological exams or tampon insertion difficult or impossible. It can feel as though there is a complete 'blockage' and attempting to get beyond this can produce feelings of extreme anxiety.
Tight Pelvic Floor Muscles
Report
Tight Pelvic Floor Muscles is a condition in which the pelvic floor muscles are too tense and tight. It can occur in both women and men. These muscles may have been over-active and too tight for many years, and often cause problems that you may have struggled with for years, but can remain un-identified unless the muscles are specifically palpated and assessed during an internal (vaginal or rectal) exam.
Incontinence
Report
Incontinence is the loss of bladder or bowel control at the wrong time or place. It can be just a few drops or enough to run down your legs or wet the floor. There are many myths surrounding incontinence - such as it's an inevitable part of aging, or to be expected after childbirth. However, incontinence can affect anyone of any age, of either sex.
