FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS
IS PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY COVERED BY OHIP?
No. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is not covered by OHIP. However, extended health care benefits cover this service under physiotherapy coverage.
IS PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY COVERED BY INSURANCE?
Yes! Pelvic floor physiotherapy falls under physiotherapy services so insurance will cover assessment and treatment as long as it is performed by a registered physiotherapist.
IS PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY WORTH IT?
Absolutely, pelvic floor physiotherapy is not only effective but also backed by solid research. Studies indicate that between 59% and 80% of individuals experience significant improvement in conditions like pelvic pain, urinary incontinence, and prolapse symptoms after undergoing targeted pelvic floor muscle training. This non-invasive therapy focuses on strengthening and relaxing the pelvic muscles, leading to better bladder and bowel control, reduced pelvic discomfort, and improved overall quality of life.
IS PELVIC FLOOR DYSFUNCTION CURABLE?
Yes, pelvic floor dysfunction is often treatable and, in many cases, can be effectively managed or even resolved with pelvic floor physiotherapy. Through targeted exercises, manual therapy, and lifestyle guidance, a physiotherapist can help restore normal pelvic muscle function, relieve pain, improve bladder and bowel control, and enhance quality of life. Early intervention usually leads to the best outcomes. Our physiotherapists target all aspects affecting your symptoms and will provide wholistic approach in managing these issues.
IS PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY PAINFUL?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is generally not painful. Most treatments involve gentle exercises, education, and hands-on techniques to help relax or strengthen the pelvic muscles. Some patients may feel mild discomfort during certain stretches or internal assessments, but your physiotherapist will always work at a pace that’s safe and comfortable for you. The goal is to reduce pain and improve function, not cause it. Our physiotherapists will use gentle and calming strategies and guide step-by-step during the assessment and treatment.
WHAT HAPPENS DURING A PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY ASSESSMENT?
During a pelvic floor physiotherapy assessment, your therapist will first discuss your medical history, symptoms, and lifestyle to understand your needs. They may then evaluate your posture, core strength, and pelvic floor muscles through external and, if comfortable, internal assessments. Based on this evaluation, they create a personalized treatment plan with exercises, manual therapy, and lifestyle strategies to improve pelvic muscle function, reduce pain, and restore control and confidence. Our physiotherapists are trained to perform careful and sanitary assessment and treatment procedures so you feel supported throughout your entire session.
