You made the plans.
You said yes to the BBQ.
You signed the kids up for camp, organized the sitter, packed the snacks…

And now? You’re just tired.
Not sick. Not ungrateful.
Just maxed out.

☀️ Summer’s supposed to feel lighter—

But when your social battery is drained, your body keeps the score.

Headaches. Tight jaw. Poor sleep. Pelvic tension.

That’s not just “overwhelm”—it’s your nervous system waving a little flag.

💛 Consider this your reminder: You don’t have to “do it all” this summer.

You just have to honour what your body is telling you.

Motherhood isn’t just physical.
It’s mental, emotional, hormonal, and everything in between.

So when you come in feeling foggy, sore, burnt out, or “off”…

We’re not just looking at one muscle or moment.

At Women’s Health Physiotherapy, we take a full-body, whole-person approach to care— because everything is connected.

Your low back pain might be tied to core instability.
Your pelvic symptoms might be worsened by sleep deprivation.
Your mood shifts might have hormonal roots.

And your fatigue?

It might be your nervous system saying, I need a break.

💡 Whether you’re 6 weeks postpartum or 6 years in—your health still matters.

Our team offers support through:

✔️ Physiotherapy (pelvic + ortho)
✔️ Osteopathy
✔️ Massage therapy
✔️ Therapy
✔️ Acupuncture
✔️ Counselling
✔️ Lactation and postpartum support
AND MORE

Because the goal isn’t just to help you “get through it”— It’s to help you feel like yourself again.

The postpartum period is one of the most physically demanding seasons of your life — and yet most women are sent home with little more than wound care instructions and feeding advice.

Here’s what’s often missed:

💡 Your pelvic floor has just undergone 9+ months of pressure and hormonal change
💡 Vaginal birth can stretch pelvic floor muscles 3x their normal length
💡 Even with a C-section, your pelvic floor is impacted through hormonal shifts, scar tissue, and altered movement patterns

And yet, no one talks about this.

That’s where postpartum pelvic floor physiotherapy comes in — not as a luxury, but as a critical part of your healing.

Whether you’re navigating:

✔️ Leakage
✔️ Core weakness
✔️ Pelvic heaviness or discomfort
✔️ Pain with s*x

This kind of care supports long-term recovery — and sets you up for strength, confidence, and function as a mom and as a woman.

🗓️ Curious when to book? Most assessments happen between 6–8 weeks postpartum, but earlier care is available depending on your needs.

📍You don’t have to wait for things to “go wrong” to seek help. Proactive care is powerful care.

Meet our s*x and intimacy therapist!

S*xual well-being is a critical part of your overall health, but it’s often neglected or avoided due to shame or discomfort. That’s where Kameela Osman, our s*x and intimacy therapist, comes in.

Whether you’re experiencing pain with intimacy, low libido, or struggling to communicate with your partner about s*x, Kameela offers a safe and confidential space to explore your s*xual health and well-being.

S*x therapy is about more than just addressing physical concerns—it’s about mental and emotional intimacy, communication, and building confidence in your body and s*xual identity.

If you’ve ever felt like s*x and intimacy weren’t discussed openly in your upbringing, your relationships, or you’ve experienced struggles in your s*xual health. Therapy is a safe way to begin healing and growing. With Kameela, you’ll explore ways to improve intimacy, enhance communication, and create the healthy s*xual relationships you deserve.

Meet Theresa Robertson, MSW, RSW

A grounded, compassionate therapist supporting women through life transitions—including the messy, meaningful layers of motherhood.

Motherhood can be one of the most powerful roles we step into—and also one of the most complex. From the early days of pregnancy and postpartum to the ever-evolving identity shifts that come with raising a family, it’s normal to feel overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of who you are in it all.

Theresa brings over 25 years of experience in counselling and social work, offering a warm, collaborative space to explore what’s coming up for you. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, stress, relationship changes, mom guilt, or simply the mental load of doing it all, Theresa helps you sort through the noise and reconnect with yourself.

Her approach is rooted in deep respect for the uniqueness of every woman’s experience. You won’t be given a checklist—you’ll be met with curiosity, compassion, and strategies that fit your real life.

Theresa is also a lifelong learner, a parent herself, and someone who understands what it means to show up for others while learning how to show up for yourself again, too.

You don’t have to navigate this season alone. Therapy is a place to land.

You’ve gotten so good at holding it all together…

Most people have no idea your hips hurt every time you get out of the car.

Or that you haven’t slept through the night in months.

Or that your bladder decides when you leave the house.

Or that some days, your body just… doesn’t feel like yours.

You still show up.

You push through.

You take care of everyone else.

Because that’s what you’ve always done.

But holding it together isn’t the same as being okay.

It’s not weak to ask for help.

It’s not selfish to want to feel better.

And it’s definitely not too late to reconnect with a version of yourself that feels strong, supported, and at home in your body again.

You deserve care that meets you where you are.

Not to fix what’s “wrong” —

But to remind you what’s still possible.

You weren’t made to suffer quietly.

You were made to move, feel, and live fully — in a body that feels like yours.

You say you’re fine.
But your jaw is clenched.
Your shoulders are up by your ears.

Your breathing barely makes it past your collarbone.
You’re scrolling instead of sleeping… again.

This is what stress looks like — in a body that keeps going.

You’re not making it up.
You’re not dramatic.
You’re carrying a load no one else can see.

And sometimes that load shows up as:

🔹 Random aches that come and go
🔹 Pelvic floor tension that won’t release
🔹 Trouble relaxing even during massages
🔹 Digestive issues or bloating out of nowhere
🔹 Feeling like rest never really helps

You can be high-functioning and still burned out.

You can be holding it together and still holding way too much.

This is where deeper care comes in — not just for your muscles or your symptoms…

But for the way your body has adapted to everything you’ve been holding.

You don’t need to push through.
You need space to soften.

Your body has different needs at every stage —
but those needs are often dismissed, minimized, or ignored.

From your first period to post-menopause, your health deserves more than vague advice and one-size-fits-all care.

Let’s break it down:

🩸 Early adulthood

You’re told to push through period pain, normalize bloating, and figure it out on your own.

But your hormones are laying the foundation for future strength, metabolism, and pelvic floor health.

🤰🏽 Pregnancy + postpartum

You’re praised for bouncing back — not supported in rebuilding.

You deserve care that addresses recovery, not just survival.

🔄 Perimenopause

Your symptoms shift — mood swings, sleep changes, body composition, pelvic tension — but no one connects the dots.

Support here can change the trajectory of aging.

💪🏼 Midlife and beyond

It’s not about slowing down.

It’s about maintaining strength, balance, and bladder control — while still feeling like yourself.

Health isn’t static.

And your care shouldn’t be either.

The more you understand your body’s needs at every stage, the more empowered you are to move through each one with clarity and confidence.

Save this post, send it to a friend who may need to hear it, and remember how powerful you really are!

You’ve done the stretches.

Kept up with your exercises.

Tried the supplements.

So why are the symptoms still here?

For many women in their 30s, 40s, and 50s, it’s not about effort.

It’s about missing pieces.

Here’s what we see all the time:

➡️ You’re told to strengthen your core —

but no one checks how you’re breathing, standing, or compensating.

➡️ You’re told to relax your pelvic floor —

but no one addresses the stress that’s keeping it tense in the first place.

➡️ You’re told to stretch your hips —

but no one looks at how your ribs, spine, or nervous system are influencing the tension.

Symptoms don’t just show up randomly.

They’re patterns.

Your body’s way of saying: “This isn’t working for me anymore.”

At Women’s Health Physiotherapy Centre, we don’t start with a diagnosis.

We start with the whole story.

Not because we think more is better —

but because real progress happens when care is connected.

The body doesn’t compartmentalize.

And your recovery plan shouldn’t either.
