FOR THE TRANSGENDER COMMUNITY

Our space is a safe place for all. Pelvic health concerns such as issues relating to urination or passing a bowel movement, pelvic and genital pain and organ support, and the pregnancy and postpartum periods can affect anyone. We are here to help. There are factors that may increase our potential for symptoms. Postural changes, chest binding, tucking, hormonal changes and scarring are a few areas we need to consider that may alter how the pelvic floor muscles and surrounding tissues function and may also be contributing to your symptoms. Physiotherapy can intervene. We are also aware that the decision to undergo a transition surgery is an immense journey with many physical and emotional considerations. The pre and post-operative period can also present specific challenges to sexual, urinary and bowel function and pain.  Having access to expert care if you are considering surgery or not, in a respectful and compassionate environment is paramount to the healing process and everyone’s right.  .
