We offer physiotherapy! Our physiotherapists are trained in regular physiotherapy (the kind you go to for a knee or shoulder injury) but also are specialists in pelvic health physiotherapy.
Pelvic health physio is for everyone who is pregnant or who has had a baby. Did you know that 1/3 of women in Canada are incontinent? It's common, but it's not normal. It's totally fixable.
Do you have chronic pelvic pain?
Do you pee a little when you cough or sneeze or jump?
Do you find yourself rushing to the bathroom when you have to pee, but not quite making it in time?
Is intercourse painful?
Do things just not look or feel quite like they used to "down there"?
Do you feel like you can't quite make it to the bathroom on time, or once you're there, you don't completely empty your bladder?
Do you have a chronic sacroiliac joint or hip problem that just refuses to budge with standard treatments?
If you answered yes to any of the above, you need a pelvic physio. Pelvic health physio can help to restore normal function to your pelvic floor and surrounding structures, and get you feeling like yourself again.
Massage therapy for fertility, pregnancy and postpartum is safe and effective, and is performed by our highly experienced massage therapists. Our RMTs each have over 10 years experience working with the perinatal population.
Acupuncture can safely relieve tension, decrease pain, increase fertility, prevent early labour or miscarriage, and even promote labour when the time is right. During your postpartum months or “fourth trimester”, acupuncture can relieve tension, assist with sleep, encourage healing, decrease postpartum depression, and help increase milk production. Acupuncture is the process of inserting tiny needles along energy lines in the body. Rooted in Traditional Chinese Medicine, acupuncture balances the body’s systems to achieve overall optimal health. Since it is complementary to other treatments, you can combine acupuncture with any of the other services we provide at West End Mamas.
Becoming a mother is one of the most impactful life transitions that many women will go through. During the fertility, pregnancy, and postpartum journey we will inevitably take care of our physical selves but it is just as prudent to care for our mental and emotional selves. Even if everything is going well, it’s often a good idea to sit down with a therapist so that tensions don’t become bigger issues. Family relationships are dynamic and we want you to have the tools you need to deal with change, life transitions, and complex times. Individual and couples counselling can help release old wounds, address fears, and combat any small problems before they become big issues.
Naturopathic medicine can treat polycystic ovarian syndrome (PCOS), endometriosis, hormonal imbalances, and unexplained infertility. Prenatal naturopathic care can cover everything from the physical complaints of pregnancy such as swollen ankles and insomnia, to emotional concerns such as anxiety and depression. Postpartum, your body goes through a myriad of changes. Naturopathic care can help balance and adjust you to your new normal. We can help you with mood support including postpartum depression and anxiety, adapting to your new lifestyle, and issues with sleep, diet, or general recovery.
Your Naturopathic Doctor will examine your medical history, lifestyle habits, and emotional responsibilities then create a plan that works for you. Treatments may include herbs and supplements, diet changes, acupuncture, homeopathy, and more. Naturopathic medicine is a great complement to any of the treatments available at West End Mamas.
