The pelvic floor, is a group of muscles that rest in the bottom of your pelvis that are involved in urination, bowel movements and sexual function. If these muscles, in either males or females, are not working properly this can lead to problems such an urgency, incontinence, or pain in the pelvic area. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb94cbaace09132f48178ec/1606628347138-857EZ10M1LI6D3DGTZKP/image-asset.jpeg Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy - What conditions can pelvic floor physiotherapy help to treat?

Next, we complete an external exam to assess your ability to contact and relax your pelvic floor. In most cases, we also complete an internal exam that is completed either vaginally or rectally. Likely, we will check your ability to control your pelvic floor using biofeedback, which involves placing sensors on your pelvic floor that read the contraction of your muscles. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb94cbaace09132f48178ec/1606882264719-1CUYPKO9ZQVUG3RE1OFF/image-asset.jpeg Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy - Will the assessment be painful? While a pelvic floor physiotherapy assessment can sometimes be uncomfortable, the goal is to help understand factors that are contributing to your symptoms, so that we can provide you with exercises and information to help you. For most people, the pelvic floor is a sensitive and private area. You can expect to receive confidential, professional and quality care during your appointment. Your comfort is important to me, so during you assessment ask whatever questions come to mind and let me know if there is anything different I can do to help you during the assessment. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb94cbaace09132f48178ec/1606882742764-F978KDKYWD72LN8DDHNW/image-asset.jpeg Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy - Before your initial pelvic floor assessment Prior to your physiotherapy pelvic floor assessment, please check with your family doctor to ensure that a pelvic floor physiotherapy appointment is appropriate for you. https://www.mountaincoastphysiotherapy.ca/home-visits daily 0.75 2020-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb94cbaace09132f48178ec/1606883301515-QFYBRBW3U0AI2DI89CA4/image-asset.jpeg Home Visits - If you can’t go to physiotherapy, physiotherapy can go to you.

Working with people from a variety of movement backgrounds and abilities is something I love. During physiotherapy sessions, I complete detailed assessments and provide specific treatment plans according to your goals and needs. Movement is a powerful rehab tool and treatments with me always include therapeutic exercises that you can do to help with your rehab process. I am competent in a variety of manual therapy techniques and I frequently incorporate these into my practice as well. I thrive off of variety and challenge. I am always diving into new projects and learning skills. There is constantly a house renovation on the go, a Pinterest recipe I am experimenting with, and a new sport or physical activity to progress in. I enjoy running with my Bernese Mountain Dog, exploring hiking trails, and going on canoe trips with my family. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb94cbaace09132f48178ec/1606537691033-ZAOPGP6GWFJYVWA1XE6S/image-asset.jpeg About Janelle Credentials Bachelor of Kinesiology, BKin, University of British Columbia (2013) Master of Physical Therapy, MPT, University of British Columbia (2015) Diploma of Advanced Orthopaedic Manual and Manipulative Therapy Level I (2015) Diploma of Advanced Orthopaedic Manual and Manipulative Therapy Level II Lower (2016) Anatomical Intramuscular Stimulation, AN-IMS (2018) Female and Male Urinary/Fecal Incontinence and Pelvic Organ Prolapse (2019) Dyspareunia and Vulvar Vestibulodynia (2019) I am not a produce of my circumstances, I am a product of my decisions - Stephen Covey https://www.mountaincoastphysiotherapy.ca/covid-19-1 daily 0.75 2022-10-20 https://www.mountaincoastphysiotherapy.ca/virtual-physiotherapy daily 0.75 2020-12-02 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fb94cbaace09132f48178ec/1606885686181-8Z8EA59JS88XW58S198G/image-asset.jpeg Virtual Physiotherapy - Physiotherapy from home If you would like to receive a physiotherapy assessment and treatment virtually, this is also an option. https://www.mountaincoastphysiotherapy.ca/rates daily 0.75 2020-12-06
