Performance Sports Therapy

Physiotherapists are primary health care professionals with a significant role in health promotion and treatment of injury and disease. They combine their in-depth knowledge of the body and how it works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. Whether you are trying to become... pregnant, are expecting, have children or havent had children, every woman can benefit from working with a pelvic health physiotherapist! The goal of pelvic health physiotherapy is to help you resolve and/or prevent the common pelvic floor dysfunctions that many of us have been told are a normal part of pregnancy, aging or simply just being a woman. Pelvic health physiotherapists are trained to assess and treat the pelvic floor. We also assess how your pelvic floor muscles work together with the rest of your body and not just in isolation. Pelvic floor rehab is not just about Kegels! Children are uniquely different from adults and therefore require individualized physiotherapy assessment and treatment. At Performance Sports Therapy, we provide orthopedic physiotherapy to support the unique needs of the pediatric population.
