MOVE WITHOUT FEAR OR DISCOMFORT
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy at Anchor Health Co.
Respectful, evidence-informed care that supports pelvic health, reduces symptoms, and helps you feel more confident and at ease in your body.
PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY
Pelvic floor physiotherapy can feel unfamiliar (and sometimes intimidating). At Anchor Health Co., we approach pelvic health with care, clarity, and consent at the centre of everything we do.
We know these symptoms aren’t always easy to talk about, and it’s common to feel unsure about what treatment might involve. We move at your pace, taking time to listen, explain what’s happening in your body, and build a care plan that feels comfortable, respectful, and aligned with your goals.
What Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy Can Support
Pelvic floor physiotherapy may be helpful if you’re experiencing:
→ Pelvic pain or discomfort
→ Bladder or bowel concerns (leaking, urgency, difficulty emptying)
→ Pain with intercourse
→ Pregnancy-related pelvic changes
→ Postpartum recovery
→ Core or pelvic instability
→ Symptoms following pelvic surgery
→ A desire to better understand and support pelvic health
You’ll leave our visits with clarity around your symptoms and a plan for what comes next.
Our Approach
Pelvic floor physiotherapy at Anchor Health Co. is:
→ Respectful: Your comfort, boundaries, and consent always come first
→ Evidence-informed:Grounded in current research and clinical best practices
→ Patient-led:Care decisions are made collaboratively, with you in control
→ Individualized:Treatment plans are tailored to your body, symptoms, and goals
→ Empowered:Education and understanding are central to your care
Disclaimer: Internal pelvic exams are never required. If an internal assessment could be helpful, your physiotherapist will fully explain why, walk you through exactly what it involves, and ask for your explicit consent (and you can decline or stop at any time). Many effective treatments are entirely external
