Synergy's Pelvic Health Program takes an integrated interdisciplinary approach towards comprehensive rehabilitation of pelvic floor dysfunction.

What is pelvic floor dysfunction?
The pelvic floor is a hammock of muscles, tendons and ligaments that support the pelvic organs such as the bladder and uterus. It is also involved in controlling continence and the maintenance of a healthy sex life. Women more commonly have pelvic floor dysfunction due to childbirth trauma and menopausal hormone changes. Pelvic floor dysfunction also occurs in men, often due to prostate conditions. Like any other area in the body, some of the muscles may be tight and need to soften and lengthen, and others may be weak and require strengthening.

How do I know if I might benefit from Synergy's Pelvic Health Program?
If you are experiencing any of the following symptoms, you might be experiencing pelvic floor dysfunction and may benefit from Synergy's Pelvic Health Program:
Pelvic Pain
Urinary Incontinence
Constipation
Coccyx (Tailbone) Pain
Sexual Dysfunction
Pregnancy and Postpartum-related lower back pain
Painful Pelvic Scars / Adhesions
Uterine or Bladder Prolapse
Low Back or Hip Pain that is not improving with treatment

You may also benefit from assessment and treatment if you are experiencing symptoms that you have attributed to another condition, such as a prostate disorder, or if you are pregnant or postpartum. Some of your symptoms may be due to these conditions, however they may also be caused in part by pelvic floor dysfunction. For example, at Synergy we have noticed a correlation between non-resolving lower back pain and pelvic floor dysfunction. If you have received treatment for your lower back pain and it has not resolved, you may benefit from pelvic floor physiotherapy and/ or osteopathy.

Synergy's Pelvic Health team at our Wallace site includes:
Physiotherapy
Osteopathy
Massage Therapy
Movement Therapy

Do I have to see all the members of the team?
You will only work with practitioners that would be helpful in your specific case. You would usually begin with an appointment with a pelvic health physiotherapist. Together you would decide whether referral to another practitioner on the team would be helpful.

Is assessment with the physiotherapist always the first step?
Yes in most cases, but if you have had abdominal surgery, a difficult labour and delivery, or a history of gynecological or kidney conditions, then you may benefit from having osteopathic treatment before seeing the physiotherapist.

Mitchell’s focus is managing and treating the “desk jockeys”. This population constantly challenges their bodies behind a desk or computer for over 40 hours a week (more than any athlete trains at the gym); in addition to staying active at the gym or playing their favourite recreational sports.

Mitchell focuses on priming their bodies to sustain long periods in sitting positions, and optimizes postural mechanics to help them transition from desk work to competitive play without the risk of sprains or strains. Given his passion for integrative practice, Mitchell’s goal is to understand how the site of pain is impacted by the entire body, rather than pinpointing a specific area of weakness. Within this perspective, he strives to optimize movement to help attain relief on a whole-body level and fulfill performance goals using activity-specific strengthening exercises, acupuncture and dry needling, and manual therapy techniques.

He couples these techniques with training in Advanced Manual Therapy techniques, Functional Stability courses, soft tissue release, and Concussion training. Mitchell is also the founder and creator of The Movement Centre – a website to help empower people to better manage and treat their injuries and achieve their functional goals. This platform provides access to movement assessment videos, targeted exercises, as well as specialized video series which aid in empowering people to take their health and injury prevention in their own hands.

Unique Facts

With an interest in on-field sports coverage Mitchell also had the unique opportunity to take part in the 2015 Pan Am Games (as a member of the medical team) where he provided on-field injury management services to golf, softball, table tennis, and baseball athletes.
