Empower through Knowledge, Movement and Awareness
Pelvic health physiotherapy is an umbrella term for physiotherapy that addresses aspects of anatomy and physiology related to or contained in the pelvis. This includes pelvic floor physiotherapy (the pelvic floor is the area between your legs, including your genitals, muscles, connective tissue and pelvic organs), which is an area of physiotherapy requiring specialized training.
After studying kinesiology in university for two years, Leigh decided that pursuing a career in physiotherapy was the path she wanted to follow. She graduated from The University of British Columbia in 2005 with a Bachelor of Science in Physical Therapy.

Amy discovered pelvic health physiotherapy after developing pubic symphysis pain, pelvic organ prolapse, and stress incontinence with her two pregnancies/deliveries. This firsthand experience motivated her to make a significant career shift and pursue her passion for pelvic health which is now her primary area of practice.
Kate completed her Bachelor of Science in Kinesiology at Simon Fraser University, where she was also a member of the Women’s NCAA Varsity Soccer team. She then spent time working as a Kinesiologist in the community and volunteering as a Therapeutic swim instructor, helping adults with Cerebral Palsy achieve the rehabilitation goals. She followed this with a Master of Physical Therapy Degree at the University of British Columbia. During the degree she received the Evert Boxtart Memorial Award for completion of clinical education with distinction and community involvement.
