Maternal Pelvic Health Clinic

Services

​The Maternal Pelvic Health Clinic builds on existing obstetrical care by providing specialized, early postpartum, multidisciplinary care to patients who have experienced severe perineal trauma through childbirth. We offer comprehensive diagnosis, education, prevention, conservative and surgical treatments, rehabilitation through pelvic floor health physiotherapy and counselling for future birth experiences, within the first year postpartum. We partner with patients in order to provide individualized person-centred care, through a series of assessment and questionnaires.

If you are currently pregnant, recently postpartum, or would simply like more information about pelvic health care through pregnancy and delivery, please consider watching the following videos:
