Pelvic health is an essential but often overlooked component of overall well-being. Whether it’s postpartum recovery, chronic pelvic pain, or bladder dysfunction, pelvic floor issues can have a real impact on quality of life – but too many people suffer in silence. At Triangle Physiotherapy Toronto, our goal is to change that by helping people understand when pelvic physiotherapy is needed, what treatment involves, and how it supports lasting recovery.
What Is Pelvic Physiotherapy?
Pelvic physiotherapy focuses on the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues in the pelvic region. These structures support organs like the bladder, uterus, and rectum and play a critical role in core strength, posture, continence, and even sexual function.
Dysfunction in these muscles – whether from trauma, overuse, surgery, or childbirth – can result in symptoms such as:
- Pelvic pressure or pain
- Urinary urgency or incontinence
- Constipation or pain during bowel movements
- Painful intercourse
- Lower back or tailbone pain
Many people are surprised to learn how common these symptoms are, or that physiotherapy can help. That’s where early assessment comes in.
Who Needs Pelvic Physiotherapy?
At our Toronto clinic, we work with a wide range of clients – from new moms to high-performance athletes and individuals recovering from surgery or dealing with chronic conditions. Pelvic physiotherapy isn’t just for women or new parents (though both groups benefit greatly); it’s also effective for:
- Men recovering from prostate surgery
- Individuals with persistent lower back or hip pain
- People experiencing unexplained pelvic discomfort
- Athletes with core instability or pelvic floor strain
By normalizing pelvic physiotherapy as a proactive and preventive treatment, we aim to make it more accessible and less intimidating for all.
Our Approach at Triangle Physiotherapy Toronto
1. Comprehensive Assessment
Your journey starts with a detailed clinical assessment, which includes a discussion of symptoms, medical history, lifestyle factors, and, if appropriate, an internal exam to check pelvic floor function. Our environment is respectful and private, ensuring you feel safe throughout.
2. Personalized Treatment Plan
Based on your assessment, we’ll develop a plan tailored to your needs and goals. This may include:
- Manual therapy to release muscle tension
- Neuromuscular retraining
- Breathing and core coordination exercises
- Postural and movement education
- Home exercises to support ongoing care
- Pessary fitting
3. Timelines and Expectations
Treatment timelines vary depending on the issue. Some clients feel better in just a few sessions, while others benefit from ongoing care over several weeks. Your therapist will guide you through realistic expectations and check-ins along the way.

Because healing doesn’t end after delivery
Bringing a new life into the world is no small feat – and neither is the recovery that follows. While many focus on the baby’s well-being (rightfully so!), new moms often put their own healing on the backburner. But those aches, leaks, or feelings of pressure after childbirth? They’re signals that your body needs care too.
At Triangle Physiotherapy North York, we specialize in postpartum pelvic physiotherapy to help you recover in a way that’s safe, informed, and empowering – no matter what kind of birth you had.
What Happens to the Pelvic Floor After Birth?
During pregnancy and delivery, your pelvic floor muscles go through a lot. These muscles support your bladder, uterus, and bowel – and during childbirth, they stretch, strain, and in some cases, tear.
It’s completely normal to feel different after giving birth. But “common” doesn’t mean “should be ignored.”
Signs your pelvic floor needs attention may include:
- Leaking when you laugh, cough, or run
- Pain or discomfort during intimacy
- A heavy or dragging sensation in your pelvis
- Ab separation (diastasis recti)
- Trouble regaining core strength
- Lower back or hip pain
If you’re experiencing any of these, know that postpartum pelvic physiotherapy in North York can help you feel stronger, more comfortable, and more confident in your body again.
