A NOVAH SERVICE
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Respectful care for the pelvic floor — for pain, leaking, prolapse and the changes of pregnancy — that may help you move through life with more comfort and confidence.
One discipline in your coordinated Novah plan. Private, unhurried, and always at your pace.
Care for the pelvic floor
Your pelvic floor is a group of muscles that support your bladder, bowel and sexual function. When they become too tight or too weak, the result can be pain, leaking, or a feeling of heaviness or prolapse — common problems that are rarely talked about — and often manageable with the right support.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapists are Registered Physiotherapists with advanced training in this area. Using exercises, hands-on treatment, education and, where helpful, tools like biofeedback or a pessary, they help support how your pelvic floor works, and may help ease your symptoms.
At Novah, this care is part of a plan that considers the whole person, not just one set of muscles.
WHERE IT FITS
One part of a bigger plan
Like the rest of physiotherapy, pelvic health care is about restoring balance. Here that’s especially direct: releasing tension where muscles have become too tight, and building strength where they’ve become too weak — so your body can do what it needs to with less strain.
When it helps to combine this with other care at Novah, your team coordinates everything around one plan.
What to expect
We start with you
A private, unhurried conversation about your symptoms, your history and your goals. Everything you share is confidential and safeguarded.
A careful assessment — at your pace
Your therapist assesses your low back, hips and pelvis. An internal exam may be offered. It is always your choice, and you can decline or stop at any time. It’s never done if you’re in acute pain or uncomfortable with it, and you’re in control at every step.
A plan built around your goals
Together you’ll agree on an individualized plan — which may include education, lifestyle adjustments, exercises, hands-on treatment, and where helpful, biofeedback or a pessary.
Support, with a clear path
Everyone’s recovery is different. Your therapist will explain what to expect and what realistic timelines look like, so you always know where you’re headed.
What’s a pessary? A pessary is a soft, flexible device that gently supports pelvic organs that have shifted or prolapsed — a common, non-invasive option for prolapse and some kinds of leaking. It’s comfortable, easily removed and reinserted, and can be managed by your therapist or, once you’re comfortable, by you.
