Frequently Asked Questions

Is pelvic floor physiotherapy covered by insurance?
Physiotherapy is covered by most extended health benefits, typically $300-$1000 annually. Some plans require a physician referral. Pelvic floor physio uses the same coverage as regular physiotherapy.
When should I see someone for postpartum mood issues?
If you're experiencing persistent sadness, anxiety, rage, intrusive thoughts, or difficulty bonding with your baby, seek help early. Perinatal mood disorders are treatable. Many practitioners offer virtual appointments, making access easier with a newborn.
How soon after birth can I start pelvic floor physio?
Most pelvic floor physiotherapists see patients starting at 6 weeks postpartum, after your doctor clears you. However, some issues warrant earlier assessment. External work can begin immediately.
