Pelvic Health Physiotherapy is a specialized physiotherapy service established to assess, coach and treat pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic Health Physiotherapists are trained to evaluate the circumstances of the pelvic floor muscles and, more specifically, how they interact with all that are core muscles.

Pelvic floor dysfunction can mirror many conditions including urinary or fecal incontinence, pelvic organ prolapse or pressure, pelvic girdle and/or tailbone pain, pain with intercourse, constipation, urinary urgency/frequency, hip and/or low back pain, etc.

Pelvic Health Physiotherapy at The WOMB assist patients in reaching their health and wellness goals through several domains including:

Fertility- combing care of fertility specialists and physiotherapists have led to successful outcomes. Pelvic Health Physiotherapists use several treatment modalities including manual therapy, evidence based self-management strategies and exercise prescription to optimize pelvic health and promote conception

Pregnancy & Birth- Pelvic Health Physiotherapists at The WOMB Bruce County teach patients about effective birthing and pushing techniques as well as labour positions to prepare them for each birthing stage, reduce failure to progress and reduce the risk of tearing. Research verifies that women who train their pelvic floor during pregnancy have shorter and less painful labours and faster recoveries. Pelvic Floor dysfunction during pregnancy is common but treatable! Women who seek pelvic health physiotherapy during pregnancy reduce or eliminate symptoms and are better positioned for labour and postpartum success.

Postpartum- Pelvic Heath Physiotherapy at The WOMB Bruce County advocates for routine access to postpartum care in the pelvic health realm. When it comes to urinary incontinence, pain with sexual intercourse, a split abdominal wall and/or pelvic girdle (+ tailbone) pain, pelvic health physiotherapists ensure these issues remain no longer and that you feel able to return to your pre-pregnancy lifestyle with optimal function.

All Bodies- Pelvic Health Physiotherapy at The WOMB welcomes all individuals throughout the lifespan. From hormonal fluctuations and milestones, optimal bowel health, pelvic organ prolapse, urinary urgency and/or a desire to alter physical activity levels, pelvic health physiotherapy can remediate these issues and re-engage individuals back into their social participations.

Massage Therapy

Why Massage Therapy? Massage therapy is an effective way of decreasing stress hormones like cortisol, and can stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system which is your “rest and digest” system, and decrease your sympathetic nervous system which is your “fight or flight” system.

Why Massage Therapy?
Massage therapy is an effective way of decreasing stress hormones like cortisol, and can stimulate your parasympathetic nervous system which is your “rest and digest” system, and decrease your sympathetic nervous system which is your “fight or flight” system. It also assists with circulation and lymphatic flow, thus, improving immune function. It can decrease tension and other physical discomforts, including headaches and migraines, can improve sleep quality, help with digestion and constipation, help with depression and anxiety, and overall is a great way to improve relaxation.

For pregnancy, it’s good to incorporate throughout your whole pregnancy, if no concerns arise with your primary health provider. Since your body goes through major changes in a short 9 months, some common physical and mental/emotional changes often arise. Prenatal massage can help keep stress hormones down, help decrease headaches, back ache and other musculoskeletal discomforts, assist in decreasing swelling and improving circulation, and last but not least, it can be a good relaxing experience for you and baby.

Infant and children’s massage is a great way to promote a relaxing experience for your littles. It can be a great way of bonding with baby. Massage therapy can be very helpful with colic, gas and constipation. Some studies have even shown that massage can help promote growth in babies that were born preterm. In addition to that, it can promote improved circulation, improved immune function, improve sleep quality and calm the nervous system.

Acupuncture is a gentle and effective therapy to support health and balance. It can be used for a variety of concerns such as pain, sleep, stress, anxiety, digestive concerns, fertility, pregnancy, labour induction and more. Generally quite painless and relaxing, small needles are inserted along energy meridians to stimulate balance and improve function.

For fertility, acupuncture can regulate the menstrual cycle, thicken the uterine lining and support implantation. For those going through assisted reproductive therapies such as IUI or IVF, it has been proven to increase success rates and pregnancy rates.

For pregnancy, many common concerns such as nausea, sciatic or pelvic pain, swelling, and insomnia can be alleviated with a few acupuncture sessions. It is also a great option in the final weeks of pregnancy to prepare the body for labour to reduce the need for medical induction or interventions such as epidural, forceps, vacuum or emergency Caesarean births.


Birth, Postnatal and Fertility Doulas

As far back as history is recounted, women attended women in childbirth. They provided a ministry of education to young women about their bodies, having children and healthy pregnancies. Childbearing women relied on their close-knit community of women to assist them in labour, birth and early care of their children. Today we call this childbirth professional a doula. The WOMB Doulas are a team of doulas and childbirth educators committed to providing expectant and new parents with exceptional emotional, physical, and educational nurturing, love and service. While under the care of a Midwife, Family Physician and/or Obstetrician, we provide support both in the home and/or in hospital, giving families the best care possible. It is our goal to increase confidence and decrease fears with respect for our clients, and their birth and parenting choices - allowing for a more positive, peaceful birth and postnatal experience.

Our Fertility Support Doulas are trained professionals who provide preconception support to individuals and their partners. Just as a birth doula brings non-medical, non-judgmental informational, emotional, and physical support to the time around labour and birth, a Fertility Support Doula brings that same model to preconception and (in)fertility.

Hi, I’m Christine and I am a Certified Lactation Counsellor & a Certified Childbirth Educator. In my prior schooling, I focused on early childhood education (RECE) & children’s mental health. I also have an Honours BSc in biological sciences where I enjoyed courses in developmental biology, nutrition, and psychology.

I am a mom to a busy 4 and 1 year old. My 4 year old was who sparked my urge to bring more education to the perinatal world after feeling a bit lost during my birthing experience. Education can be very empowering and that’s my ultimate goal; to empower parents-to-be and postpartum parents through their journey.

When I’m not talking all about babies, you can find me teaching children in nature, climbing in a tree, baking, or going on adventures with my kiddos.

I believe that parents need support throughout the journey and that postpartum doesn’t stop at 6 weeks. I am excited to share my knowledge with those in The WOMB!
