Why is preventative Pelvic Health Physical Therapy important?

It is important to address symptoms before they develop into more chronic and persistent concerns. More pregnant women in Calgary are being referred to pelvic health physiotherapists by their doctors than ever before, as proper physical therapy for pelvic health muscles can help prevent and manage common pelvic health issues that arise during and after pregnancy.

Preventative measures also include addressing annoying symptoms that you may have been experiencing for years. Often these small inconveniences are a sign of a system that is not functioning at its best and can have implications for your health further down the road.



What does physiotherapy do for the pelvic health that a doctor doesn’t?


Physiotherapists with special training in pelvic health are experienced at assessing and treating joints, soft tissue, and movement patterns that may be dysfunctional or contribute to symptoms in the low back, hips, or abdomen. The focus of pelvic health physiotherapy is to gain a thorough understanding of the root causes of what brings you in and develop strategies to manage and recover from your symptoms. Physiotherapists trained in pelvic health work hand in hand with your doctor, striving to improve your overall health through a combination of supportive strategies.
