​Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy

PRENATAL PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY
Will help you strengthen the pelvic floor to prevent common issues during pregnancy including urinary incontinence, low back pain, increased pelvic pressure and more.  Prenatal pelvic floor therapy also focuses on preparing the pelvic floor for delivery of your baby to prevent or reduce potential damage.

POSTPARTUM PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY
6 weeks postpartum most women are given the “all clear” signal from their doctor to resume regular activities. Our pelvic floor physiotherapist will help re-strengthen your pelvic floor and guide you back to regular activities and exercise.  She will also look for a diastasis (separation of the abdominal muscles) and help restore your core.  

PELVIC FLOOR PHYSIOTHERAPY FOR DYSFUNCTION
Some women may experience pelvic floor dysfunctions despite never having given birth. In addition, women that are well past they’re child bearing days may experience an onset of pelvic floor dysfunction later in life.  Our pelvic floor physiotherapist can work with you to help restore your pelvic floor and treat the dysfunction. Common conditions treated by a pelvic floor physiotherapist include but are not limited to the following:
  • Stress/Urge Urinary Incontinence
  • Fecal Incontinence
  • Pelvic Organ Prolapse
  • Dyspareunia 
  • Vaginismus/Vulvodynia
  • Diastasis Recti 
  • Constipation
  • Urinary Frequency

A must have during pregnancy. Calm the mind, increase energy and relieve discomfort. This relaxing massage enhances comfort by improving circulation, alleviating pressure on the joints, reduce swelling in the legs and relieving lower back pain.

POSTPARTUM MASSAGE
It is just as important to get massage after baby arrives as it is during pregnancy. This relaxing and restorative massage eases muscle aches and fatigue, reduces swelling, relaxes the mind, reduces stress and helps you handle the physical demands of a newborn.

RELAXING AROMATHERAPY MASSAGE
Enjoy pure relaxation. Heal the body, regulate mood, blood pressure, digestion, and stress levels with this ancient healing therapy using aromatic essential oils with natural fragrances. Circulation and flexibility are improved while easing tension in the mind, body, and soul.

DEEP TISSUE MASSAGE 
Using a special blend of peppermint, eucalyptus and rosemary, this deep tissue massage will naturally release muscle tension found in the deeper tissue layers through slower strokes and more direct pressure. 

POSTPARTUM MASSAGE WITH BABY PRESENT
The challenges of taking care of yourself after baby arrives is finding the time, energy, and child care needed to step away for an hour. At Yoga Mamas, we understand the importance of self care and encourage you to book a postpartum massage with baby. Our wonderful massage therapy team can tailor a massage while baby is nursing, sleeping or snuggling with mom.  A half hour may be all you need to alleviate the tension in your neck and shoulders, decrease some tiredness and swelling in your legs and arms, or allow you to relax with an amazing scalp and face massage.

Acupuncture Services

INITIAL CONSULTATION & TREATMENT
Your first visit is typically an hour and a half, this will include an in-depth assessment and initial treatment.
From the information gathered, a Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) diagnosis and treatment plan will be developed for you. Many commonly used points are located on the arms and legs so please wear loose comfortable clothing. Delicate needles are lightly inserted and remain in place for about 20 minutes while you rest with quiet, soothing music playing in the background. Many people fall asleep while they are being treated and are left with a calm relaxed feeling.

PRENATAL ACUPUNCTURE
Acupuncture is a safe and gentle way to successfully treat many common problems that may arise during pregnancy such as morning sickness, fatigue, aches and pains, and emotional imbalance.

LABOUR PREP & INDUCTION ACUPUNCTURE
Pre labour acupuncture has been shown to reduce rates of medical induction, intervention and caesarean, resulting in faster and less painful labour and reduced levels of anxiety. Ideally starting at 36 weeks, receive weekly acupuncture until birth. The pre-labour treatments focus on softening the cervix and preparing the pelvis for labour and delivery.

POSTPARTUM ACUPUNCTURE
Traditional Chinese Medicine places great importance on caring for a woman after she gives birth. It is an important time to heal and restore your energy as well as treat any new complications such as mastitis, insufficient lactation, pain, and emotional imbalance.

BREECH POSITION PROTOCOL
Most babies turn to a head down position between week 28 and 32. If your baby hasn't turned, Traditional Chinese Medicine has a reliable and non-invasive approach. Moxibustion is a chinese herb that is burned over an acupuncture point to encourage your baby to turn. During this appointment our acupuncturist will instruct you on how to perform this take home treatment.

Chiropractic Care

PRENATAL CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Chiropractic care throughout pregnancy can relieve and even prevent the common discomforts experienced in pregnancy. Imbalances in the spine become stressed during pregnancy. The weight of a growing uterus has a tendency to change a woman’s biomechanics, shifting the center of gravity and putting pressure on joints of the hips, pelvis and lower back. Specific adjustments (such as the Webster technique) eliminate the causes of stress in the spine.

LABOUR PREP CHIROPRACTIC CARE
If there is intrauterine constraint as birth approaches, the baby is prevented from getting into the best possible position for birth.  Even if the baby is in the desirable head down position, often intrauterine constraint prevents the baby’s head from moving into the ideal presentation for delivery. This may slow labor and add distress and pain to both mother and baby. Using the Webster Technique, a chiropractor gently opens up the pelvis, allowing baby space or room to move into proper positioning. If the baby is in correct position, the technique also helps to maintain that ideal positioning leading up to delivery.

POSTPARTUM CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Chiropractic care after delivery is incredibly beneficial for everyone, regardless of the type of delivery they had.

BABY/CHILD CHIROPRACTIC CARE
Chiropractic adjustments for adults differ greatly from those performed on babies and are very gentle using light fingertip pressure. Colic or irritability, poor sleeping habits, developmental delays, digestion issues, lethargy or low energy, difficulty breastfeeding may be relieved with chiropractic care.

Naturopathic Medicine

INITIAL CONSULTATION & TREATMENT​
At your first appointment you can expect that we will do a lot of talking. I want to hear all about what you are experiencing and how it is impacting your life. I will ask about your health history and your current lifestyle. If you have any recent blood work, test results, or any other pertinent medical information, please bring it along with you to your first appointment. I will do any necessary physical exams that are related to your health concerns. If applicable, we may decide to run some additional diagnostic testing. Together, we will discuss a treatment plan that will work for you and your busy lifestyle. By the time you leave, I hope that you will feel empowered to take your health into your own hands. The initial visit runs anywhere from 60-90 minutes.

FOLLOW UP APPOINTMENT
At your follow up appointments, we will track your progress. We will determine if you need to continue with the current treatment plan, or if modifications need to be made. The follow up appointments vary in length, and can be anywhere from 30-60 minutes.

TREATMENT PLAN
I believe that simple changes can result in amazing health outcomes. I often look at diet and lifestyle first, as these two things are the foundations for our health. Making changes to your diet and lifestyle are cost-effective and profound. However, I may also recommend nutritional or herbal supplements and acupuncture to help correct for any deficiencies, combat any underlying infections, or to “reset” processes in the body that may not be running as smoothly as they should. I use supplements strategically, meaning you won't leave my office with a laundry list of things to take. I do not believe that there are any “magic pills” or single “super foods” that can cure all that may ail us in a sustainable way, but I do believe in the power of making a daily commitment to making healthy choices.

Holistic Nutrition

Initial Consultation and Appointment
Prior to your first appointment you will be emailed an online questionnaire that will help to better understand your health history, lifestyle habits and any foods or specific nutrients that may be out of balance. During the appointment we review this information, discuss your nutrition goals, address questions or concerns, and most importantly, determine how we can work together as a team to support your success! We’ll cover the key nutritional principles based on wherever you are (pre-conception, pregnancy, postpartum or feeding your baby), and discuss a plan for how to begin to make healthy adjustments in your diet and lifestyle. 

Follow Up Appointment 
Following our initial consultation you’ll be given personalized suggestions based on your goals. These may include specific foods to introduce or remove, food swap ideas, specific brand or serving recommendations, a simple meal plan or recipe suggestions, referrals or references. During these sessions we will check in on progress, review your food journal, answer questions and move forward with the specific action steps and strategies you’ll need to take to reach your goals.

Physiotherapy

PRENATAL PHYSIOTHERAPY
Pregnancy can be a challenging time if you are trying to stay active and exercise. The demands placed on your body are constantly changing and it is important to tailor your exercise routine to better suit those demands. Our physiotherapists can help you manage pain and discomfort and help you find safe and suitable exercises trimester by trimester.

Prenatal Physiotherapy can also help with preparing for birth and the management of common conditions which often occur during pregnancy, such as swelling that occurs in the lower arms and legs, lower and upper back pain, posture misalignment and more.
​
POSTPARTUM PHYSIOTHERAPY
​Postpartum Physiotherapy can guide you through a faster and more effective recovery after birth. It can help you safely get back to your normal daily activities, as well as help you manage other physical aches and pains that can arise when taking care of your newborn.
​
GENERAL PHYSIOTHERAPY
General physiotherapy helps to promote your overall health and rehabilitate muscles and bones in the body that have been suffered from injury or trauma.
This includes sprains, strains, the rehabilitation of fractures, inflammation of tendons, arthritis, osteoporosis, scoliosis, repetitive injuries and post surgery conditions.
Our physiotherapists will assess your needs and work with you through a variety of treatments such as 
​
  • Manual therapy: carefully moving the joints to reduce pain and restore normal mobility of the joints.
  • Soft tissue techniques: varying from relaxing light pressure massages to deep friction massages to breakdown scar tissue in muscle or ligaments.
  • Taping for joint support/alignment: This supports the muscles and various affected areas to ease pain and allow for normal movement.
  • Rehabilitation Exercises: Our physiotherapists may give you exercises to do at home based on your needs. These may be to help you improve your posture, improve the mobility of your spine and joints, and strengthen the muscles that support your bones.​​​

Counselling

Our counsellor has experience working closely with women and has an in-depth understanding of women’s health issues. She will listen and work with you to address personal and mental health concerns that may be impacting  you and your family's lives. She describes the experience below:

Your Initial Therapy Session
At your first appointment, we will focus on creating a comfortable and safe space for you to share and talk about what has brought you to therapy. First sessions can move slowly, as we build trust and begin our therapeutic relationship together. I will support you if you are not sure where to start or what to talk about – this is common in therapy. We will begin to get a sense of what therapy will look like for you as we move through the session. Ideally, you will leave the first session with either increased clarity about what you have been feeling or with a specific strategy to practice in your daily life. 
 
Your On-going Therapy Work
Therapy work is highly individual. Sessions tend to unfold naturally, as we move toward your goals/needs. Some things we may work on include: connecting to and naming emotions, processing emotions in healthy ways, building trust with yourself, learning how to create boundaries or navigate certain relationships in your life, learning how to feel greater intimacy in your relationships, understanding the impact of different experiences you’ve had, identifying the role of anxiety and/or depression in your life, understanding and feeling grief or anger, supporting you to feel more understanding (and thus more control) of your mind and body. 
 
My approach is relationship-focused, gentle, and creative. I use evidence-based modalities to help us in the work:
  • Emotion-Focused Therapy
  • Narrative Therapy
  • Relational Therapy
  • Somatic Psychology
  • CBT and DBT tools
  • Mindfulness

Osteopathy

Osteopathic treatment is a gentle hands-on approach to health care. An educated touch and gentle palpation are used to evaluate anatomy and its function. Temperature, texture, motion, and vibration of the body tissues can be perceived and there is a tactile communication between therapist and patient. Treatment is guided by the patient’s body responses; allowing the treatment to be very gentle, safe, and effective. Gentle pressures and positioning of the body encourage the nervous system and tissues to relax, releasing restrictions, improving range of motion, and increasing overall health and vitality. The goal of Osteopathy is to optimize the self-healing mechanisms of the body. ​
OSTEOPATHY FOR PRENATAL
The body goes through an incredible transformation during pregnancy. As baby grows, the body’s mechanics change, shifting your posture and changing where stress is placed upon the body. Hormone changes soften connective tissue which can exacerbate these stressors. Imbalances can become irritated or painful and restrictions in the tissues and joints can affect fluid flow causing swelling. These changing mechanics also means breathing can become more difficult.
Osteopathy is a very gentle non-invasive manual therapy that restores balance to the body.

OSTEOPATHY FOR POSTPARTUM
Following birth, Osteopathy can help restore balance from the stresses that occurred during pregnancy and labour. This can ease the discomfort and pain you may be feeling and help speed up recovery by improving blood and lymphatic flow, optimizing the self-healing mechanisms of the body. Hormone changes continue to soften the body’s joints after birth creating laxity, which can also lead to discomfort. Because of this joint laxity it’s also a wonderful time to make positive changes and improve and rebalance tensions throughout the body helping you feel better now and for the future.
​
OSTEOPATHY FOR YOUR INFANT/CHILD
Many of the problems commonly experienced in infancy may be caused by the forces of labour and delivery. A fast, slow, instrument-assisted birth, or C-section can all have a different impact on the pressures applied and forces sustained during delivery. These forces may be imprinted in the newborn creating structural imbalances and a variety of symptoms. Osteopathic treatment for newborns is very gentle with the intention of establishing fluid continuity and allowing the nervous system to relax and heal.

Ultrasound for Blocked Ducts

Yoga Mamas offers therapeutic ultrasound for the treatment of blocked milk ducts. A plugged or blocked duct is the result of a localized obstruction caused by milk stasis in part of the breast. This can cause pain and impact breastfeeding along with milk supply. Blocked ducts may happen gradually, or come on suddenly requiring immediate attention.

​This is where we can help and bring you immediate relief. Ultrasound can successfully be used in the treatment of blocked ducts. This soothing treatment is available in clinic seven days a week.​
YOUR HEALING
At Home Remedies For Plugged Ducts
  • Regular, consistent breastfeeding is the quickest way to resolve a blocked duct.
  • Massage the blocked duct both before and during a feeding. This can be done towards the armpits or towards the nipple. 
  • Apply a warm compresses for 20 minutes at a time. 
  • Soak the breasts in a warm Epsom salt bath.
  • Point baby’s chin or nose toward the clogged duct when breastfeeding.
  • Use gravity to help drain the breast by breastfeeding on all fours.

A blocked duct may not go away with home remedies, or may be intensely painful. Ultrasound therapy can be extremely helpful in these situations. 

Please note that blocked ducts, if not treated early, can lead to an infection in the breast called mastitis. ​Before coming in for an ultrasound session please make sure you have not developed mastitis. You can consult your doctor to confirm this.

Cesarean Scar Release Therapy

Yoga Mamas offers Microcurrent Point Stimulation (MPS) Therapy, an FDA approved treatment, for cesarean section scar release and pain relief. 
​
The intention behind MPS cesarean section scar releasee therapy is to reduce adhesions and restrictions, increase circulation and reduce pain. Your increased mobility and comfort as a result of this therapy will enhance your capacity to take the best care of your baby and family.

Delivering your baby via caesarean section comes with extra considerations and awareness around your healing. Abdominal surgery requires extra time for your body to recover.
​
​You are encouraged to rest, focus on bonding with baby, and follow their healthcare practitioner's advice around post healing care. After six weeks we welcome you to book a 60 minute initial assessment and treatment with one of our Registered Healthcare Practitioners. During this appointment she will review your health history, provide an assessment and a scar tissue release therapy treatment. ​
Cancellation Policy
We ask that all Wellness cancellations be made at least 24 hours in advance of your appointment time. Our appointments are limited and highly sought after. Cancellations made with less than 24 hours' notice will be charged in full. Thank you for your understanding and support.
