Pelvic Floor Weakness After Childbirth in Calgary SW
Pelvic Floor Weakness After Childbirth
Heaviness, pressure or a feeling that something is "not holding", leaks with exercise, or a core that never quite came back after a baby – pelvic floor weakness is one of the most common and least discussed consequences of pregnancy and birth. It can also follow pelvic surgery or years of high-impact activity.
Westside treats it as the medical concern it is: assessed by a family physician, treated without surgery, and planned around the rest of your health, including sleep and recovery.
This care is provided on the medical side of Westside under Dr. Sabah Jarullah, family physician. Every patient begins with a medical assessment; insured visits are covered under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan. No referral needed.
Signs you may notice
- Heaviness, dragging or pressure in the pelvis
- Leaks with running, jumping or lifting
- A weak core or lower back strain since childbirth
- Reduced sensation or discomfort with intimacy
- Symptoms that have not improved with exercises alone
How it is assessed and treated at Westside
Dr. Sabah Jarullah assesses the pelvic floor and the factors around it, then builds a plan: guided pelvic floor training, lifestyle and bladder strategies, and the EMSELLA® chair, which delivers thousands of supramaximal contractions to the pelvic floor muscles in a single session – fully clothed, no downtime. Progress is measured at review visits. The physician assessment is insured under the Alberta Health Care Insurance Plan; device-based courses are private-pay and explained before you book.
