Women's Health

---

Physiotherapists are involved in the management of a range of women's health issues, including obstetrics, osteoporosis, and urinary incontinence. 

Physiotherapists also treat women with breast health concerns and a variety of  neuro-musculoskeletal conditions.    

The Canadian Physiotherapy Association and Society of Obstetricians and  Gynaecologists of Canada recommends.  

• Pelvic floor muscle training with a physiotherapist is  recommended to prevent urinary incontinence during pregnancy  and after delivery  (I-A).  
• Core stability training with a physiotherapist is recommended to  prevent and treat back and pelvic pain during and following  pregnancy  (I-B).  
• Physiotherapist-prescribed exercises are recommended for women to elicit positive changes in bone mass and to reduce fall  and fracture  risk  (I-A).  
• Pelvic floor muscle training with a physiotherapist is  recommended for women with stress urinary incontinence (I-A).
