Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy  -  Leanna Taggio, PT

 

Restore Confidence. Reduce Pain. Improve Bladder and Pelvic Health.

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized form of physiotherapy that assesses and treats the muscles, ligaments, and connective tissues that support the bladder, uterus, bowel, and pelvic organs. Dysfunction in these muscles can contribute to pain, bladder and bowel concerns, pelvic pressure, and sexual discomfort.

​

Our pelvic floor physiotherapist provides compassionate, one-on-one care in a private, comfortable environment, helping you regain confidence and improve your quality of life.

​

We proudly serve patients from Richmond Hill, Oak Ridges, Aurora, King City, Newmarket, Vaughan, and surrounding communities.

​

What to Expect

Your first visit includes a detailed discussion of your symptoms, medical history, and goals, followed by a comprehensive assessment. With your informed consent, this may include an external and/or internal pelvic floor examination to evaluate muscle strength, coordination, tension, and function. Internal assessment is never required and will only be performed if you are comfortable proceeding.

​

Treatment is personalized and may include:

• Pelvic floor muscle retraining

• Manual therapy

• Relaxation and breathing techniques

• Core and hip strengthening exercises

• Bladder and bowel retraining

• Education on posture, movement, and lifestyle strategies

• Home exercises to support long-term recovery

 

You Don't Have to Live With These Symptoms

Bladder leaks, pelvic pain, and pelvic pressure are common, but they are not something you simply have to accept after pregnancy, during menopause, or as part of aging. Pelvic floor physiotherapy is considered a first-line, evidence-informed treatment for many pelvic health conditions and can significantly improve comfort, function, and quality of life.
