What kind of help is available?

Seeing a pelvic health physiotherapist is a great place to start, suggests de Jong Westman. It may also be helpful to hire a coach with a demonstrated interest in women’s reproductive health. To find a physiotherapist with specific training in pelvic f loor health, word of mouth may be your best bet, or consult your provincial or territorial licensing body for physiotherapists. (Note that physiotherapy services are not covered by provincial health insurance plans, and some private insurers may require a doctor’s referral.)
