Can pelvic floor exercises help with diastasis recti?

Yes, pelvic floor exercises can support your recovery, but the first step is getting a proper assessment from a pelvic floor physiotherapist so you know exactly what you’re working with.

In this reel, one of our pelvic floor physiotherapists, Slesha, walks you through three exercises she often uses with clients. Bent knee fall outs. Heel slides. Leg lifts.

For each one, inhale and relax. Exhale and gently set the pelvic floor. Move slowly and with control. Aim for two sets of ten.

If you want a plan that is tailored to your body and your symptoms, you can book a pelvic floor physiotherapy appointment anytime.

Birth can feel overwhelming to think about, but being prepared changes everything.

This four week Prenatal Movement and Alignment for Birth series helps you build strength, mobility, and confidence for labour.
You’ll learn positioning, breathwork, alignment, and movement strategies that support a calmer, more controlled birth experience.

Led by chiropractor Dr. Kaitlyn Jacklin using evidence-informed techniques.

All trimesters welcome. No movement experience required. Chiropractic insurance may cover your sessions.

Starts December 1 at 6pm. Registration open on our website.

Four years ago, we set out to build something different. A place where families could access real support, expert care, and genuine community all in one space.

Countless pregnancies supported, babies welcomed, and parents held through the messy and the magical.

This milestone isn't ours alone, it's yours. You showed up, trusted us, and made this community what it is.

Thank you for being rooted here with us.

You just grew a human. Your body deserves to recover like one.

Postnatal Recovery Yoga isn't about "getting your body back", it's about reconnecting with the body you have right now.

This gentle 3-week class is designed to:
- Reduce stress and improve sleep
- Rebuild strength at your pace
- Balance hormones naturally
- Give you a peaceful break from it all

Suitable from 8 weeks postpartum (after you are cleared). Child-free space = you get to just breathe.

Thursdays 7pm | $75 + HST for 3 weeks | 60 min

October is Pregnancy and Infant Loss Awareness Month, a time to support families navigating ectopic pregnancy, miscarriage, stillbirth, and infant loss.

This kind of loss is unique and deeply alters the lives of parents, family members, friends, and healthcare providers.

If you know someone grieving, reach out with compassion. Give them space to talk and grieve without judgment.

The Butterfly Box is one way to show support. And at Rooted Family Wellness Centre, our mental health team is here to help you process emotions, work through grief, and know you're not alone.

If you've experienced pregnancy or infant loss, please know that support is available to you. 🦋
