What Is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy?
Pelvic health physiotherapy is the branch of physiotherapy dedicated to the pelvis and core. It covers a wide range of conditions and stages of life, including:
Treating pelvic symptoms directly improves pelvic function, reduces pain, and lifts athletic performance — postpartum recovery covers both vaginal and C-section births.
What To Expect
During An Assessment
A pelvic health assessment has a lot in common with a standard physiotherapy evaluation. It starts with a detailed conversation about your medical history, your lifestyle and your support systems. From there your physiotherapist may look at how you move while clothed, and examine muscles and joints externally, depending on what brought you in.
Pelvic health physiotherapists complete extensive additional training that allows them to carry out internal pelvic floor assessment and treatment where it is useful. These are only ever performed with your informed consent.
The pelvic floor muscles run from the pubic bone at the front to the tailbone at the back, and also attach to the sit bones and hips. The clearest way to evaluate their strength, flexibility and sensitivity is through an internal digital examination — a gloved finger inserted vaginally or rectally, depending on your anatomy and the concern being assessed.
Why Pelvic Health
At ØRKA Is Different
Off The Table And Under The Barbell
We break your activity goals down into steps, which means getting you off the table and seeing how you actually move — not just kegels lying down.
There is a time and place for isolated pelvic floor muscle training, but our clients get further with a dynamic, activity-based approach that aims to change symptoms inside the session. You leave with tools that carry you back into sport or fitness.
Rehab For Everyone, Across The Lifespan
Our pelvic physiotherapists work with LGBTQIA+ individuals, cisgender women and cisgender men looking to access pelvic health care at any stage of life.
That includes early, mid and late pregnancy or postpartum clients who want to stay in sport safely; people managing pain or symptoms after gender-affirming surgery; and anyone going through menopause looking for direction on genitourinary symptoms.
An Entirely Individual Rehab Program
Rehab needs individual attention. Your pelvic health physiotherapist manages your whole program through Teambuildr or Physiapp, our programming applications.
You won't get a few exercises on a sheet of paper. You'll be part of building a plan that reflects and respects both your goals and your current lifestyle.
Rehab Gym Access In Our Membership Model
Inside our rehab membership model you get unlimited access to the facility for the price of one physiotherapy session per week. These Rehab Gyms let you work on your symptoms up to five days a week, which is how we get people back to what they love — and living symptom free — faster.
Accountability is hard, especially with self care and pelvic rehab. This model keeps you in a routine with far more touch points with a physiotherapist.
Who You'll Work With
Both practitioners are athletes. They know the difference between being cleared and being ready — and they don't settle for one when you need the other.

ØRKA Pelvic Health
