Pelvic Health Physiotherapy: The Secret to Core Health and Confidence

Crystal Showers • July 21, 2025

At Propel Active Health & Lifestyle, we believe in approaching health from the inside out. And when it comes to strengthening your foundation—physically and emotionally—Pelvic Health Physiotherapy plays a vital role.


This often underutilized therapy isn’t just for postpartum recovery. It’s a cornerstone of overall well-being, supporting your core strength, bladder control, bowel movement, sexual function, and even your posture. Whether you’re dealing with incontinence, pelvic pain, prenatal, post natal, or simply want to feel more in control of your body, physiotherapy for the pelvic floor can transform the way you move through life.

What Is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physiotherapy that focuses on the muscles, ligaments, nerves and connective tissues in the pelvic region. These muscles support your bladder, uterus, prostate, and rectum. When they’re too tight, too weak, or not functioning properly, they can lead to a wide range of symptoms—from discomfort and dysfunction to reduced quality of life.

Who Is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy For?

The short answer? Everyone.


Our Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy clients include:

  • Women preparing for or recovering from childbirth

  • Men dealing with prostate issues and post-prostate surgery recovery

  • Adults experiencing incontinence or urinary urgency and frequency

  • People with pelvic pain or pain during intimacy, urination or bowel movements

  • Individuals struggling with constipation or bowel irregularities

  • People with chronic hip, back, or groin discomfort

  • Individuals with core weakness

  • Athletes involved in running, jumping or impact sports.

Many clients arrive at our Burlington clinic thinking these issues are “just part of getting older” or “something to live with.” But that couldn’t be further from the truth. With guided, personalized physiotherapy, control of symptoms and strength building is possible.

At Propel Active Health & Lifestyle, we take a holistic, movement-centered approach to care. Our team of physiotherapists, chiropractors, massage therapists and wellness professionals collaborate to create a treatment plan that supports your full recovery and your long-term lifestyle goals.

Our goal? To help you move better, feel better, and live more actively—on your own terms.

What to Expect in Your First Physiotherapy Session

If you’ve never had Pelvic Health Physiotherapy before, it’s natural to feel unsure about what to expect. During your first session at Propel Active, we’ll take time to review your health history, understand your goals, and perform an external and/or internal assessment based on your comfort level.


We’ll explain everything clearly and patiently, and we’ll never pressure you into any part of the process. This is your healing journey. We’re just here to support it.


Based on what we learn, we’ll design a customized physiotherapy plan that may include breathing strategies, bladder and bowel retraining, core activation and releasing exercises, manual therapy, posture training, pre/postnatal care,  and education to help you connect with your pelvic floor throughout daily movement.


You’ll be amazed at how even subtle changes in posture and muscle awareness can lead to powerful shifts in strength and confidence.

Take the First Step Toward Feeling Like Yourself Again

If you’ve been silently dealing with pelvic discomfort, bladder issues, or core weakness, it’s time to stop ignoring the symptoms. Let’s talk. At Propel Active Health & Lifestyle, we see physiotherapy as more than just rehab—it’s a tool for reclaiming your body and your quality of life.

But how do you know when a delay is part of a normal range—or when it might be time to seek extra support? That’s where paediatric rehabilitation comes in. It’s not about labeling or worrying—it’s about providing children with the right tools to thrive at every stage of their growth.

Dumbbell Exercises
By Dr. Alison Lejkowski May 6, 2025
At Propel Active Health & Lifestyle, we believe fitness should be simple, functional, and accessible. That’s why dumbbell exercises are at the core of many of our strength programs. Whether you’re training at home or at the gym, dumbbells are one of the most versatile tools to help you build muscle, improve balance, and strengthen your body from head to toe—without the need for complicated equipment. Why Dumbbell Exercises Work for Everyone Dumbbell exercises offer significant benefits like full-body engagement with real-life application. They help you develop strength that goes beyond the gym—into your posture, your movements, and your everyday energy. Unlike machines, dumbbell exercises recruit stabilizing muscles, making your body work harder and more efficiently—If used correctly. This means you’re not just lifting weight; you’re building functional strength, joint stability, and coordination all at once. At Propel Active, we love using dumbbells with our members because they scale beautifully with progress—light enough for beginners, but challenging enough for experienced lifters.
