About Michaela
Michaela is a Registered Physiotherapist who brings specialized expertise in pelvic health, pregnancy & postpartum, women’s health, incontinence, AN-IMS, and healthy aging. Her approach is centered on empowering you to understand your body and take control of your recovery.
As Michaela says: “My goal is to assist you in fully understanding your injury or condition, to provide supportive therapies that enhance your recovery, and to empower you to take your health to its fullest.”
While Michaela specializes in pelvic health and women’s wellness, she also treats general musculoskeletal conditions and enjoys variety in her patient care.
Michaela’s Areas of Expertise
Pelvic Health & Pelvic Floor Dysfunction
Michaela has completed comprehensive training in pelvic health physiotherapy (Levels 1, 2 & 3 and ongoing specialized courses) and uses advanced tools including real-time ultrasound imaging to assess and treat pelvic floor conditions. Whether you’re experiencing:
- Urinary or fecal incontinence
- Pelvic pain or discomfort
- Pelvic organ prolapse
- Dyspareunia (painful intercourse)
- Diastasis recti
- Prehabilitation of the pelvic floor with aging and/or menopause
Michaela provides evidence-based treatment tailored to your specific needs.
Pregnancy & Postpartum Care
Pregnancy and the postpartum period bring unique physical challenges. Michaela specializes in:
- Staying active in pregnancy
- Pelvic girdle pain during pregnancy
- Body mechanics with baby
- Postpartum recovery and rehabilitation
- Core and pelvic floor rehabilitation
- Return to joy - exercise and activity guidance

Athletic Performance & Pelvic Health
Having completed “The Female Athlete Level 1” course, Michaela understands the unique demands that athletic activity places on the pelvic floor. She works with athletes to:
- Optimize pelvic floor function for performance
- Address leakage during high-impact activities
- Prevent and treat sports-related pelvic injuries
- Support safe return to sport postpartum
Persistent Pain & IMS
Michaela uses a biopsychosocial approach to persistent pain, addressing the interplay of biological, psychological, and social factors. She provides education on pain science, nervous system regulation techniques, and tissue treatment through hands-on therapies.
Michaela is certified in Anatomical IMS (AN-IMS), an evidence-based technique for treating chronic pain and muscle dysfunction. IMS involves inserting fine needles into tight muscle bands to release tension and restore function, complementing her hands-on approach for lasting relief.
