Pelvic Floor Physio

From incontinence and prolapse to pain and sexual health concerns, the team at Full Moon Physio is here to help clients of all ages and genders with the full range of pelvic health conditions. Nothing is taboo or TMI when it comes to your pelvic health!

  • Did you know that it is not normal to leak urine? Not even a little bit and not even when jumping on the trampoline after having kids!

    Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help you pinpoint the cause of your leaks and give you the education and skills to stop them once and for all.

  • Your pelvic floor plays a very important role in your bowel health.

    Our physiotherapists can help you with common concerns such as constipation, hemorrhoid and incontinence of stool or gas.

  • Did you know that up to 60% of women will have some degree of pelvic organ prolapse after birthing their first child?

    Did you know having a c-section is not protective against prolapse?

    This condition is incredibly common but still very little talked about. Current guidelines recommend that pelvic floor physiotherapy be used as a first treatment option for prolapse before exploring surgical repair.

    In many cases, physiotherapy can effectively relieve symptoms such as heaviness/pressure in your vagina, feeling that something is falling out, incontinence or urgency of bowel or bladder, difficulty voiding bowel or bladder and pain or discomfort during intercourse or exercise.

    If you do need surgery, seeking pelvic floor physiotherapist prior to a repair surgery greatly improves the long-term success rate of your surgery and physiotherapy post-op will help you recover faster.

  • Pelvic pain can be caused by a wide range of conditions including pelvic floor dysfunction and persistent pain conditions such as endometriosis and interstitial cystitis/painful bladder syndrome.

    Our physiotherapists treat pelvic pain from a biopsychosocial lens. This means that we look not only at the muscles and tissues but also at your social and emotional well-being as it relates to your experience in your body.

  • Sex should not hurt.

    Say it again louder so everyone hears: sex should NOT hurt!

    There are a wide range of reasons why intercourse might be painful including (but not limited to): hypertension in your pelvic floor muscles, vulvodynia, vestibulodynia, vaginal dryness, vaginismus, scar tissue, and endometriosis.

    Our physiotherapists are trained to help pinpoint what is causing your pain, and give you the tools to experience pain-free sex.

  • Let one of our experienced pelvic floor physios be a part of your perimenopause support team!

    Pelvic floor physio can help ease common menopause symptoms such as vaginal dryness, sexual dysfunction, pelvic organ prolapse and incontinence.

  • Your pelvic floor muscles are vital core muscles that play a huge role in the support of your whole body. Did you know that up to 78% of women with low back pain also report pelvic floor dysfunction?

    Pelvic floor physiotherapy can help to alleviate persistent low back pain, hip pain, tailbone pain, SI joint and pubic symphysis joint pain and more.

  • Pelvic floor physiotherapy plays a vital role in helping your body prepare for and recover from a vaginal or caesarean delivery.

    See our prenatal/postpartum section here for more details on how we can help you discover your best postpartum self - you deserve it!

Please note that our physio’s have taken limited training on male pelvic floor treatment and therefore we are not currently accepting new clients for male pelvic health concerns.
