activity. A home exercise program can also be prescribed with a focus on releasing tension of the pelvic floor muscles or regaining strength, endurance and coordination. We will also look at how your nervous system might be affecting your pelvic floor since our pelvic floor muscles are very reactive to life stressors. Lastly, as a pelvic health physio, we can also help guide you in the right direction if additional services are needed such as osteopathy, naturopathy, massage therapy, dietetics, psychological services or general medicine. As our population continues to age and with women bearing children more commonly later in life, these challenges can arise at all stages of life.

to be gaining some popularity recently. Let’s cover the basics first. Perimenopause is defined as a period of approximately seven to ten years before menopause and can start as early as 35 years old in some women. Menopause is one calendar day, marking the one-year anniversary since your last menstrual period. Anything after menopause is considered post-menopause.

A thorough health history will be taken as well as a physical examination. And just to clarify, you do not need to have an internal pelvic exam to be treated by a pelvic health physio. Please don’t let the internal exam be a deterrent to seeking care. Your care will be guided based on your comfort. Based on your assessment, a treatment plan will be created. Some common areas of focus might include education around lifestyle modifications such as ensuring adequate hydration, managing constipation through diet and exercise, healthy toileting habits, vulvar skin care and lubricant recommendations for sexual 14 Beech Drive • 519-615-3680 juliegrayphysio.ca • juliegraympt@gmail.com
