Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy
Pelvic floor physiotherapy helps with bladder leakage, pelvic pain, pressure or heaviness, and recovery after pregnancy or prostate surgery. At Taradale Physiotherapy Massage and Wellness Centre you are assessed in a private room, at a pace that feels respectful, then given a clear plan you can use at home in northeast Calgary.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a distinct visit at Taradale Physiotherapy Massage and Wellness Centre, not a redirect to general physiotherapy. If leakage, pelvic pain, or postnatal recovery is why you searched, this is the page to book from.
Pelvic floor physiotherapy in a private NE Calgary clinic
Pelvic floor concerns are common and often untreated because they feel awkward to bring up. Leakage with a cough or jump, a heaviness that sounds like prolapse, pain with intimacy, tailbone pain, or a core that will not reconnect after birth are all reasons people book this visit. Men also attend after prostate surgery or with pelvic pain.
You are seen in a private room. Internal examination is never assumed. Many people start with education, breathing, hip and core loading, and external assessment. If an internal exam would add useful information, we explain why and only proceed with your consent. You can stop or change the exam at any time.
This is a dedicated service page because Calgary searches for pelvic floor physiotherapy are specific. It is not a generic physiotherapy slot with a different name. Book pelvic floor physiotherapy so the visit length, room, and clinician plan match that care.
Pregnancy, postnatal recovery, and when to start
During pregnancy we help with pelvic girdle pain, leaking, and pressure management for daily tasks. After birth we look at scar comfort, abdominal separation, return to walking and lifting, and whether the pelvic floor is overworking or underworking. You do not have to wait until you feel “ready.” If symptoms are bothering you, it is reasonable to ask.
Alberta usually lets you book without a doctor referral. Some insurers still want a note. Bring any obstetric or urology reports you already have. The clinic is at 130 Savanna Ave NE, T3J 4E4, with parking on site.

Postnatal parent, 33 Leakage with walking and lifting after a vaginal birth 8 weeks
Assessment showed a weak, poorly timed pelvic floor plus lingering abdominal separation. We used consented external work first, breathing and lift mechanics, then graded strengthening she could do between childcare and walks in Taradale.
Leakage on walks stopped by week four. She returned to lifting her toddler without pads by week eight and kept a five minute daily routine. Follow up at three months showed the gain had held.
