Can you say yes to any of the following?

Leak pee when you cough or sneeze?
✓ Take frequent trips to the bathroom?

✓ Perimenopause/menopause-related pelvic floor changes?
✓ Lost confidence in your body & fitness?

You are not alone!

Pelvic floor issues and pain are not a normal part of aging or motherhood. Contrary to popular belief, your weight, size or posture isn’t the problem either. Maybe you’ve already seen a pelvic physiotherapist or other practitioner, and they’ve told you to keep doing Kegels and bridges, and to avoid all activities that cause symptoms. Well, I’m here to tell you…

Pelvic health is about more than Kegels, endless pelvic massages, avoiding activities or waiting it out. You deserve better. Let me help you get back to all your passions!

I offer personalized pelvic physiotherapy in Toronto, and virtual appointments across Ontario. You’re not just getting a standard sheet of exercises and a lecture on “perfect posture” from me. You’re also not going to be stuck on a machine or be treated by an assistant. You will get my undivided attention throughout our time together.

We work together to meet your goals. Along with my signature strategy: Breathe, Unclench, Move (BUM), I’ll teach you simple and effective exercises & tips to stop peeing your pants, and boost fitness, pleasure and strength.

It’s time to move better, feel better and live life better! 😉

Kind Words

“Surabhi is a life saver! I was having issues with incontinence and it was a concern every time I left the house. After one week, Surabhi helped identify the causes of my problem. I saw improvements right away! I was given strategies to help me control the situation. I learned so much about my body and my habits working with Surabhi. I can now go to work, the gym or out with friends without worrying about what might happen. I truly appreciate the personal support that I received and the results that I experienced! I was also left with the skills to continue to put in the work to make sure I continue in this positive direction. It was extremely convenient meeting online. I could schedule my sessions during lunch while at work or at home. I always thought these treatments needed to be in person but we were able to resolve all of my issues from our virtual calls!” - Jenn B.

“My experience with Surabhi has been life changing. I was seeing another physical therapist for 9 months with little to no symptom improvement. Within a month of seeing Surabhi I have improved both mentally and physically. I actually LOOK FORWARD to doing my mobility and strength work. Our 1:1 sessions are incredibly helpful and she is always there if I have a question in between! I plan to continue working with her through my next pregnancy and beyond!” ~Kayla H.

Holistic Approach

“Surabhi blew me away with her strengths-based holistic approach. As a healthcare professional myself I could not have asked for any more professionalism, knowledge, and capacity than in our two visits - which helped to completely address my pelvic floor issues quickly. I had read I should see a physio quickly if you have these issues - and I could not be more grateful for her care. I am not exaggerating when I say she must have made 25 suggestions during our initial consultation that may be contributing to the problem - but it didn't feel overwhelming as we went through each one and figured out how to make it make sense for me and my life. She is special. Thank you!” - M.M., pregnant mama and doctor
