What women's health issues does physical therapy treat?

Physical therapy for women’s health addresses urinary incontinence, sexual disorders and dysfunctions, pelvic pain, rectus diastasis, and issues related to pregnancy and menopause. Our physical therapists assess your pelvic floor muscles before recommending a treatment plan tailored to your condition.

What happens during a perineal rehabilitation session?

A perineal rehabilitation session begins with an assessment of the pelvic floor and the relevant muscles, conducted with respect and attentiveness. The physical therapist then teaches you targeted exercises and a progressive program to restore control and strength. Each step is explained and adapted to your comfort level.

Can I schedule an appointment during pregnancy or after giving birth?

Yes. Physioactif welcomes pregnant women as well as those in the postpartum period. During pregnancy, physical therapy helps relieve pelvic and back pain and prepares the body for childbirth; after childbirth, it supports pelvic floor rehabilitation and recovery from diastasis recti. Our physical therapists tailor each treatment to your specific stage.

Is a doctor's referral required, and do you accept CNESST and SAAQ?

In Quebec, physical therapy is available through direct access: no doctor’s referral is required to schedule an appointment at Physioactif. However, some private insurers may require a referral for reimbursement, so please check the terms of your plan. Physioactif also accepts cases from the CNESST for work-related injuries and from the SAAQ for traffic accidents.

Physical Therapy or Another Approach to Women's Health?

A physical therapist is a healthcare professional trained and supervised to assess, diagnose, and treat pelvic and perineal disorders. As a member of the OPPQ, they develop a treatment plan based on clinical evaluation and active rehabilitation. Other approaches and therapies exist in Quebec, each with its own framework; Physioactif guides you toward the care that best suits your condition.
