Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
for Women, Men & Children

Years ago, the “pelvic floor” wasn’t well-known, but now it’s an important topic of discussion. Today, everyone is talking about pelvic health. The pelvic floor is a group of muscles and tissues that support the organs in the pelvis, including the bladder, intestines, and uterus in women. Maintaining a healthy pelvic floor is crucial for overall well-being.

Many women juggle roles as mothers, professionals, caregivers, volunteers, and community leaders. Often, they neglect their own health, which can disrupt muscles, joints, and bowel and bladder habits. Leona Ham offers assistance with these issues using her orthopedic expertise and certification in pelvic floor health. She employs a holistic approach to improve physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. Common issues women face include urinary incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse, and pelvic pain. Regular pelvic floor exercises, also known as Kegels, can help strengthen these muscles and prevent or alleviate these problems.

Men may not realize they have a pelvic floor, but it plays a crucial role in their health as well. Common issues include frequent urination, constipation, erectile dysfunction, post-orgasm pain, and pain in the genital/pelvic region, low back, and groin area. Pelvic floor dysfunction in men can be caused by various factors, including surgery, injury, or chronic conditions. Addressing these issues through targeted exercises, lifestyle changes, and professional guidance can significantly improve quality of life.

Pediatric pelvic health is often overlooked, yet it is essential for children’s overall development and well-being. Common problems include bed wetting, constipation, and daytime incontinence. These issues can affect a child’s self-esteem and social interactions. Early intervention and treatment can help children develop healthy bowel and bladder habits, ensuring they grow up with a strong and functional pelvic floor.

Leona Ham’s holistic approach to pelvic health focuses on the interconnectedness of physical, mental, social, and emotional well-being. By addressing the root causes of pelvic floor dysfunction and providing personalized treatment plans, she helps individuals achieve optimal health. This approach includes education, exercises, lifestyle modifications, and, when necessary, medical interventions.

Sport and Orthopedic Physiotherapy

Sport and Orthopedic Physiotherapy focuses on the science of movement that aims to restore function in multiple body systems. To achieve this, physiotherapists use exercise, education, therapeutic modalities, manual therapy, and a range of physical and physiological therapeutic interventions to help their patients achieve functional goals .

Our physiotherapists, Leona and Tracy, understand the demands our patients place on their bodies – from everyday on-the-job physical stress to repetitive sport injuries. The physios have athletic-specific knowledge that transfers over during longer, unrushed appointments. When a patient books an hour with a physio, they get a full hour with the physio.

At our multidisciplinary clinic, our team of physiotherapists brings together a wealth of experience, with both therapists having many, many years of practice in the field. This extensive experience allows our therapists to provide expert care tailored to each patient’s unique needs.

Collaboration is at the heart of our approach. Our physiotherapists work closely with other healthcare professionals, including orthopedic surgeons, sports medicine doctors, chiropractors, and massage therapists, to ensure a comprehensive and cohesive treatment plan. This collaborative effort ensures that patients receive the most effective and holistic care possible, addressing not only the immediate symptoms but also the underlying causes of their conditions.

By integrating the expertise of various disciplines, they are able to offer a more thorough and effective treatment plan, helping our patients achieve their functional goals and improve their overall quality of life.
