Prenatal pelvic floor physiotherapy at kāer Wellness in Leslieville supports your body through pregnancy — addressing pelvic pain, posture changes, breathwork, and preparing your pelvic floor for birth. Toronto’s east-end clinic for women’s pelvic health since 2012.
Most patients begin between 12 and 20 weeks of pregnancy, though we welcome you anytime — including the third trimester if you’re experiencing pelvic pain, leaking, or discomfort. Earlier sessions help establish baseline strength and address dysfunction before pregnancy load increases. Later sessions focus on birth preparation, positioning, and breath strategies for labour.
Your registered pelvic floor physiotherapist will take a detailed history, assess your posture and breath patterns, and (with your consent and comfort) conduct an internal pelvic floor exam to evaluate tone, strength, and coordination. Sessions also include education on prenatal core engagement, safe exercise modifications, sleep positioning, and managing common pregnancy symptoms like pelvic girdle pain, sciatica, and round ligament pain.
Research suggests prenatal pelvic floor physiotherapy combined with structured birth-prep education can reduce risk of perineal tearing, support faster postpartum recovery, and improve birth confidence. We integrate breathwork, pushing mechanics, and labour positioning into your treatment plan.
