Pelvic Health Conditions that I address
ready for your life to change?
Here's What You Need:
are you tired of bladder leaks?
I see individuals of all ages who are experiencing bladder leaks. From children whose urinary system has not developed at the normal rate to adolescents who competed in high level impact sports to post-menopausal women. I can tell you that in most cases bladder leaks can be resolved with conservative treatment, meaning specialized pelvic health physiotherapy
Are you experiencing Pelvic organ prolapse?
POP occurs when there is loss of integrity of the ligament and muscular structures anchoring the pelvic organs in place. On of the key anchors of support is the pelvic floor. Strengthening of the pelvic floor muscles can help.
As a pelvic health physiotherapist endometriosis is where my passion lies. Perhaps I find it very rewarding to help these women who have already navigated an uphill battle to attain a diagnosis. I want to educate women with endometriosis that their pain extends far beyond tissue migration outside the uterus. Endometrial tissue lesions alter the biochemistry upper body leading to an abnormal immune system signature that can plague tissue and nerves even after surgical excision. The key to reducing pelvic pain is to learn strategies to dial down the inflammation in the body.
I am currently working on a virtual course to deliver this vital information to women with endometriosis all over the world. In the interim please sign up to my newsletter to receive valuable information.
The endo course
introducing...
Urinary Incontinence (Bladder Leaks)
Bladder incontinence refers to any situation where fluid leaks from the bladder unintentionally. There are several different types including stress urinary incontinence and urge urinary incontinence. Conservative management including pelvic floor physiotherapy is effective for most cases. Conservative management includes pelvic floor muscle training (PFMT), bladder retraining,
Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP)
POP occurs when there is loss of integrity of the ligament and muscular structures anchoring the pelvic organs in place. I like to use the analogy of an acrobatic silks performer. These performers suspend themselves midair relying on the tension created by twisting up the silk fabric. In the same manner, our pelvic organs are suspended by ligamentous and muscular tissue. When the integrity of this tissue deteriorates something can shift. This can result in Pelvic Organ Prolapse (POP). This includes the diagnosis of cystocele, rectocele and vaginal vault prolapse.
Endometriosis
As a pelvic health physiotherapist endometriosis is where my passion lies. Perhaps I find it very rewarding to help these women who have already navigated an uphill battle to attain a diagnosis. I want to educate women with endometriosis that their pain extends far beyond tissue migration outside the uterus. Endometrial tissue lesions alter the biochemistry upper body leading to an abnormal immune system signature that can plague tissue and nerves even after surgical excision. The key to reducing pelvic pain is to learn strategies to dial down the inflammation in the body.

Overactive Bladder
Are you fearful to travel too far from a restroom? Do you experience sudden onset urgency that comes on fast and furious that you often do not make it to the toilet to evacuate your bladder?
You may have overactive bladder (OAB). The hallmark signs of OAB include:
Sudden onset urgency, increased frequency to void bladder (remember that normal voiding frequency is every 3 hours) and nocturia ( awakening in the middle of. the night to void your bladder). The mainstay of treatment for OAB is urotherapy with pelvic floor muscle training.

How it works

You're stronger than you think you are. But if you're anything like me, you need help to take your super power to the next level. You just want someone to tell you what works.
you're in the right place.
My journey to become a Pelvic Health Physiotherapist mirrors that of every other Pelvic Health Physiotherapist that I know. I encountered symptoms of pelvic floor dysfunction after the birth of my first child. For many women, pregnancy and the birth process predispose them to some type of pelvic floor dysfunction. Pelvic floor dysfunction (PFD) assumes many shapes and sizes if you will, form urinary incontinence to pelvic organ prolapse (POP) to much, much more. My own experience was my tipping point to entering the world of pelvic health and I haven't looked back since.
I am here to help you on your pelvic health journey too.
Sincerely,
Alicia
