Do I Need a Referral?
No. Physiotherapists are primary healthcare providers, which means you can book directly without a physician referral.
Is Pelvic Health Physiotherapy Only for Women?
No. Pelvic health physiotherapy can benefit women, men, and children experiencing a variety of bladder, bowel, pelvic floor, and pelvic pain concerns.
Is Treatment Covered by Insurance?
Many extended health benefit plans include physiotherapy coverage. We recommend checking with your insurance provider regarding your specific benefits.
Will I Need an Internal Examination?
An internal pelvic floor examination is often considered the gold standard for assessing pelvic floor muscle function, but it is never mandatory. Your physiotherapist will discuss all assessment options and obtain informed consent before proceeding.
Bladder leakage, pelvic pain, constipation, prolapse, and postpartum concerns are common, but they should not be accepted as a normal part of daily life.
At Belleville Integrative Health Centre, we are committed to helping individuals and families improve function, confidence, and quality of life through specialized pelvic health physiotherapy.
