What to expect and how to feel empowered from day one
When it comes to pelvic health, there’s often a mix of curiosity, concern, and even confusion – especially if you’ve never seen a pelvic physiotherapist before. Whether you’re navigating postpartum recovery, persistent discomfort, or changes with age, know this: you’re not alone, and help is closer than you think.
At Triangle Physiotherapy North York, we know that walking into your first pelvic physiotherapy appointment can feel like a big step. That’s why we’ve created a safe, welcoming environment where education and empathy come first.
Here’s what to expect – plus some helpful prep tips so you can feel confident and informed ahead of your first visit.
What Is Pelvic Physiotherapy?
Pelvic physiotherapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus (or prostate), and bowel. When these structures are weak, tight, or not working in coordination, it can lead to issues like:
- Bladder leaks or urgency
- Pain during sex
- Constipation
- Pelvic or lower back pain
- Heaviness or pressure in the pelvic region
- Discomfort during movement or exercise
Pelvic physiotherapy in North York is designed to assess and treat these concerns through a combination of hands-on therapy, targeted exercises, posture training, and patient education.
What Happens at Your First Appointment?
Your first session at Triangle Physiotherapy North York will feel a lot like a detailed conversation mixed with gentle movement-based assessment.
Here’s a breakdown of what to expect:
- History & Concerns: We start with your story. This includes your symptoms, medical background, lifestyle habits, and any previous injuries or surgeries.
- Education & Consent: We explain how the pelvic floor functions and what could be contributing to your symptoms. If an internal assessment is helpful, it’s discussed with complete transparency and only done with your full, informed consent.
- Movement & Posture Check: You may be asked to walk, squat, or move in certain ways so we can observe muscle coordination and alignment.
- Personalized Plan: Based on your needs, we build a care plan with treatment goals, exercises, and follow-up recommendations.
The goal? Helping you feel heard, informed, and never rushed. You’re in charge of your journey – we’re simply your support team.
Tips Before You Arrive
- Wear comfy clothes that let you move freely
- Bring a list of symptoms, questions, or goals
- Come with an open mind – pelvic physio is often gentler and more holistic than people expect
