Pelvic Floor Therapy

Book pelvic floor therapy

Pelvic floor therapy is offered by Dr. Fiona Callender, one of our Naturopathic Doctors. Pelvic floor therapy is an evidence-based treatment for many conditions of the pelvis including those related to pain, prolapse, incontinence, digestion and sexual function.

Who This Is For

This type of appointment may be especially indicated for those who are pregnant or trying to conceive, those who are postpartum and those with pelvic pain - including endometriosis, vulvar symptoms/pain, sexual pain, painful periods. It may also be suitable for anyone experiencing sexual health concerns, genitourinary syndrome of menopause, as well as any issues with urinary urgency or leaking.

What to Expect

With a thorough assessment of your symptoms as well as a physical exam, you will get a treatment plan that is tailored to you and your goals. Although an internal exam - vaginally or rectally - may be part of an assessment, you are ultimately in the driver’s seat of your visit and it is never required. Dr. Fiona will walk you through the process and always get your ongoing consent before and throughout the assessment.

You can also read our blog post to learn more about pelvic floor therapy and how we can support you.

For insurance purposes, Dr. Fiona’s appointments are billed under “naturopathy”. If you are unsure if this is the right appointment for you, please feel free to book a complimentary meet & greet appointment or give the clinic a call.

Why Pelvic Floor Therapy with a Naturopathic Doctor

Pelvic floor therapy with a Naturopathic Doctor offers a unique fusion of a full naturopathic consultation, while also more specifically addressing your pelvic health. Dr. Fiona will take a whole-person and full-body approach to your concerns, working with you in a collaborative and compassionate way. All facets of your health may be addressed through a deep look at your personal and family history, nutrition, movement, stress management strategies, supplements, blood work, and physical exams as needed. She approaches every client through a trauma-informed and sensitive lens.

Dr. Fiona is especially passionate about supporting those with chronic pelvic pain as well as supporting her patients through pregnancy and birth.

Pelvic Pain and Endometriosis

Pain is rarely caused by a single factor.

For many people, symptoms are influenced by a combination of tissue changes, inflammation, pelvic floor muscle dysfunction, stress/life experiences, nervous system sensitization, previous injuries/infections, hormonal changes and/or lifestyle.

Rather than looking for a single cause, we work together to understand the factors contributing to your unique pain experience and build a plan that takes into account your history, preferences, values and goals.

Birth Prep

Dr. Fiona offers perinatal appointments to help you feel more confident and ready to advocate for yourself and the birth you hope for. Preparing for birth may mean:

  • Education on labour stages, induction options, and pain management options

  • Connecting with your birth provider and understanding their approach

  • Building body awareness and pelvic floor coordination

  • Understanding position options for labour and birth

  • Preparing your birth partner or hiring a doula

  • Building strength and resilience

  • Preparing for postpartum and optimizing your health for recovery

Build body awareness with a pelvic floor assessment. A pelvic floor assessment as part of birth prep can help you:

  • Understand and manage any symptoms
