What Happens During a Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Assessment?

Your assessment will take place in a private treatment room and begins with a conversation about your symptoms, health history, goals, and any questions you may have.

Next, we'll complete a thorough physical assessment. This includes evaluating your posture, breathing, core, hips, back, and how your body moves as a whole. If appropriate, I may also recommend an internal pelvic floor examination (vaginal and/or rectal). This is performed using a gloved finger to assess the muscles, nerves, and connective tissues of the pelvic floor.

An internal examination is always your choice and is never required. If performed, it provides valuable information that helps guide an accurate diagnosis and create a treatment plan tailored specifically to you.

What Happens Next?

Following your assessment, I'll work with you to develop a treatment plan that's tailored to your symptoms, goals, and lifestyle.

Treatment may include education, hands-on therapy, breathing and movement strategies, individualized exercises, and practical tools to help you feel confident managing your symptoms both in the clinic and at home.

My goal isn't just to help you feel better—it's to help you understand your body, return to the activities you love, and give you the knowledge and confidence to manage your pelvic health long-term.
