A Movement Based Approach to Pelvic Floor Therapy
Pelvic floor therapy at KC Rehab begins with understanding your body, not handing you a generic set of exercises. The pelvic floor is part of your deep core, working with your breath, your abdomen, and your back to support everything you do. When it is not functioning well, the effects can show up as leaking, pain, pressure, or weakness that quietly limits your daily life. Our first priority is a careful, confidential assessment, so we understand exactly what is happening before we recommend anything.
At our Markham clinic, pelvic floor therapy is provided by Rachel Marie Tan, BSc Physio, a registered physiotherapist with the College of Physiotherapists of Ontario. Pelvic floor therapy sits firmly within physiotherapy, and Rachel delivers it with the same thorough, evidence-based, whole body approach she brings to every patient. You work one-on-one with Rachel throughout your care, in a private treatment room where your comfort and dignity always come first.
What to Expect from Your Pelvic Floor Assessment
- A private, confidential conversation about your symptoms, your history, and what you want to get back to
- A thorough assessment of your posture, breathing, deep core, and pelvic floor function, always at a pace you are comfortable with and only with your consent
- A clear, judgment free explanation of what is happening in your body and why
- A personalized plan that combines hands on treatment, targeted exercises, and simple strategies you can use in everyday life
Whether your symptoms started during pregnancy, after giving birth, or built up quietly over the years, you do not have to navigate them alone. Pelvic floor therapy gives you a clear path forward and a practitioner who treats you with respect at every step.
CONDITIONS WE TREAT
Conditions Pelvic Floor Therapy Helps You Recover From
Pelvic floor dysfunction affects far more people in Markham than most realize, and it shows up in many forms. You might be dealing with urinary incontinence, leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise, or a constant urgency that sends you to the bathroom too often. You may be recovering from pregnancy or birth, working through diastasis recti, cesarean healing, or the long road back to feeling strong in your core. For some, the issue is pain, pressure, or a heaviness that signals pelvic organ prolapse. Others feel discomfort during intimacy or a persistent ache that nothing seems to fix. These symptoms are common, but common does not mean you have to live with them. Pelvic floor therapy treats the root cause and helps you regain control, comfort, and confidence in your own body.
Stress and urge incontinence, leaking when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise, and a constant feeling of urgency or needing the bathroom far too often.
Preparing your body for birth, recovering after delivery, healing from a cesarean, closing abdominal separation, rebuilding deep core strength, and returning safely to exercise.
Pain or discomfort during intimacy, ongoing pelvic pressure, tailbone and lower abdominal pain, and muscle tension that does not ease on its own.
Pelvic organ prolapse, a sensation of heaviness or bulging, a weak or disconnected deep core, and the low back or hip pain that often comes with it.
Restore the balance. Reclaim how you feel.
Whether you are managing chronic pain, dealing with stress, or simply looking to feel more balanced and energized, an initial consultation at KC Rehab is a smart place to start. We will help you understand which TCM modalities are right for you and how they fit alongside your other care.

Frequent Asked Questions
Pelvic floor therapy is a specialized form of treatment that assesses and addresses the muscles, connective tissue, and nerves supporting your bladder, bowel, and reproductive organs. It helps with issues like leaking, pelvic pain, prolapse, and weakness, using targeted exercises, hands on techniques, and education tailored to your body.
You may benefit if you leak when you cough, sneeze, laugh, or exercise, feel sudden or frequent urges to use the bathroom, experience pelvic pain or pressure, notice a heaviness or bulge, or are recovering from pregnancy or birth. If any of these sound familiar, an assessment is a good place to start.
While our pelvic floor program is primarily focused on women’s health, pelvic floor dysfunction can affect anyone. These muscles play a role in bladder, bowel, and core function for all bodies. If you are experiencing symptoms, we are happy to talk through whether this service is right for you.
Your first visit starts with a private, confidential conversation about your symptoms, history, and goals. From there, Rachel assesses your posture, breathing, and core, and explains every step before it happens. Nothing is done without your understanding and consent, and your comfort guides the pace throughout.
It depends on your symptoms, how long they have been present, and your goals. Some people notice meaningful improvement within a few visits, while others benefit from a longer, progressive plan. After your first assessment, Rachel will give you a realistic sense of what your recovery may look like and how often to come in.
In most cases you can book directly without a referral. Some extended health insurance plans require a physician referral before they reimburse treatment, so it is worth checking your specific coverage. Our front desk can help you confirm what your plan needs before your visit.
Pelvic floor therapy at KC Rehab is delivered by Rachel Marie Tan, a registered physiotherapist, so it is generally covered under the physiotherapy portion of most extended health plans. Coverage varies by plan, so check your benefits for any limits or referral requirements. We offer direct billing with many major insurers where available.
Leaking is common, but it is not something you simply have to accept. Many people are told it is a normal part of motherhood or aging, when in fact it often responds very well to treatment. Pelvic floor therapy addresses the root cause rather than asking you to live around it.
