A six-week, physio-led return-to-sport block for moms who want back under the barbell — not a calendar clearance. Twelve group sessions, three assessments, and a clearance test you have to pass.
You played through pregnancy and you're ready to get back.
You were cleared at six weeks, but nothing feels right.
You're afraid to push at full effort.
The Postpartum Return to Sport Program was built to get moms back to a high level of sport and activity — not back to baseline. Six weeks, led by our pelvic health physiotherapists, run in the gym rather than in a treatment room.
You train in a cohort of six. Your physio programs the block, coaches the sessions, and signs off on the clearance test at the end.
Your return-to-sport test doesn't care about your table scores.
We test what your sport tests — function under load, in the positions your position demands, not in isolation on a plinth. If it doesn't transfer to the field, it doesn't count as a pass.
The same platform your strength coach uses.
Every session, load, and progression lives in the app, so you can see the block in front of you and keep training between sessions. Your physio is your coach — one plan, one person accountable for it.
Our clearance is based on a test battery, not just a calendar. Every phase has a purpose, and every test gives us insight on readiness.
Not just limb symmetry — proof that you have two strong, independent limbs. Both sides clear, or you're not.
Sport-weight on the bar, with your physio next to you watching you work.
The patterns your position demands. Tested under fatigue, not in isolation.
“You're fine at six weeks” isn't a clearance. This is.
Three questions. Nothing is submitted and nothing is stored — this only tells you which door to start at.
We'll tell you whether the six-week cohort is the right starting point, or whether a one-to-one pelvic health assessment gets you there faster.
Registering doesn't lock you into anything. It puts you in front of a physiotherapist who confirms the program is the right fit before you pay for the block.
Fill in the form below with your sport, your goals and where you're at. It takes about two minutes.
Someone from the ØRKA team reaches out within one business day to talk through your situation and answer questions.
Your initial pelvic health and movement assessment is scheduled before the block starts, so you begin with real numbers.
October 6. Tuesdays and Thursdays, 11:00am, with five other athletes for six weeks.
Six spots per block. The form takes about two minutes. Once you submit, a member of our team will be in touch within one business day with next steps — no payment is taken at this stage.
Prefer to talk it through first? Call (587) 416-5912 and ask for the pelvic health team.
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.
“Athletes spend years developing their bodies. Returning to sport after a pregnancy shouldn't be rushed or guessed at.”
“Your pelvic floor is a performance muscle. We treat it like one.”
A structured block with a clear endpoint — not open-ended sessions that trail off.
$600 can be direct billed through insurance, then $100/week on a receipt you can self-submit.
No payment is taken when you register — we confirm the program is right for you first.
A structured, physio-led group training program designed to take you from cleared to actually ready. Over six weeks you'll complete 12 group training sessions, three physiotherapy assessments, and a final return-to-sport clearance test — all programmed and led by our pelvic health physiotherapists.
Registering is an expression of interest, not a payment. A member of the ØRKA team will contact you within one business day to talk through your situation, confirm the program is the right fit, and book your initial assessment before the block starts. If a one-to-one pelvic health assessment would serve you better first, we'll tell you that instead.
Regular physio is one-on-one and typically focused on symptom management. This program is gym-based, group-format, and built around performance. Your physio isn't just treating you — they're training you. The entire six weeks is designed around getting you back to full effort, not just clearing a checklist.
Not at all. The standard six-week clearance is a starting point, not a finish line. Many athletes in this program were cleared months or even years ago but never felt fully right. If something still doesn't feel like it used to, this program is for you.
Yes — physiotherapy benefits through your extended health plan can be applied to this program. Coverage amounts vary by plan, so we recommend checking your benefits before registering.
