Overview
When You Need Postpartum Pelvic Floor Recovery
You do not have to wait months before seeking help. Whether you had a vaginal birth or a C-section, your pelvic floor and core are affected. Leaking urine when you sneeze or exercise, pelvic heaviness, painful intercourse, or a gap in your abdominal muscles (diastasis recti) are all signs that your recovery needs professional attention. Many women wait two years or more before asking for help — you do not have to.
Signs You Should Come In
- ✔ Leaking urine when laughing, sneezing, or exercising
- ✔ Pelvic heaviness or pressure below
- ✔ Painful intercourse after birth
- ✔ Feeling of weakness or instability in your core
- ✔ Concerned about a gap in your abdominal muscles

Questions
Frequently Asked Questions
When can I start postpartum pelvic floor physiotherapy?
Most women start around 6 weeks after a vaginal birth or 6 to 8 weeks after a C-section. You can book sooner if you have significant symptoms — we will guide what is appropriate at each stage.
Is the internal exam required?
No. Internal assessment is optional and always consent-based. External assessment and biofeedback can provide plenty of information if you prefer to start there.
Is it covered by extended health?
Yes. Pelvic floor physiotherapy by a registered physiotherapist is covered by most major extended health plans including Sun Life, Canada Life, Manulife, and Blue Cross.
Can I bring my baby?
Absolutely. Babies are welcome at every appointment. Bring whatever you need — feeding, carrier, stroller.
