Pelvico Health Centre (Bedford)

Maria is a fantastic physiotherapist, caring, knowledgeable and has a wonderful sense of humour. You can take your baby with you to appointments, which is very convenient. She helped me while I was pregnant and treated me after, helping me recover from a birth injury. She is excellent at finding creative solutions to help you along with your rehab and to return to sports. Thank you Maria!

I was first referred to Maria at Pelvico Health Centre in Bedford by my massage therapist when I was in my second trimester. I had been experiencing some pelvic pain and wanted to make sure I had a pain free pregnancy as best as I could - Maria helped me achieve that! She was extremely professional while also caring and understanding. Prior to the arrival of my baby girl, she helped ease some of the discomfort that comes with an expanding body! She understood and respected my birth plan and guided me through different stretches, breathing techniques and birthing positions that I used during my delivery. Since having my baby I have continued to see Maria for postpartum care and I could not imagine my recovery without her! I will continue to see her regardless of pregnancy or postpartum care. I never knew how important pelvic health was until meeting Maria!

As a mother-to-be who was evacuated from her home during the Tantallon Wildfires I am incredibly thankful to Pelivco Health Centre and Maria for facilitating a maternity clothing drive for me.Anyone who’s pregnant or has been pregnant understands how uncomfortable it is when you have nothing to wear especially in 30 degree weather.Maria personally dropped the clothing she and the team collected to me, within 12 hours of them hearing about my situation, as well as a little gift from Pelvico with some goodies.A beautiful example of community support and compassion.Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Nancy, Dana and the front desk staff have been amazing helping me get better after my accident. Nancy is very knowledgeable and has an amazing bed side manner,.I have never had a massage so great since having one with Dana! Once I am all healed I will be continuing coming for massage and if I need physio for anything I will be coming to see Nancy!

I am so appreciative of the instruction I received at Pelvico. Being conscious of my pelvic core is now second nature to me. With any of my movements I find myself thinking about how to do it safely and how best to breathe. The classes have made me stronger and have given me confidence. They also helped with making me more confident in socializing and leaving the house with a new baby during the recent easing of pandemic restrictions. I look forward to continuing on the journey towards improving my health.

First let me say that these two ladies are a lifesaver! While pregnant I knew that I wanted to look into a pelvic floor specialist so I did a google search and Maria came up with glowing reviews, so I booked her and waited until my appointment came. By the time I got to see her I had been 4 months PP and was just starting to get the hang of motherhood. As soon as I met her, I felt “that” connection of I’m in good hands. After my assessment and many laughs, we made a plan. I did my homework and came back a few months later. She checked me over and cleared me for physical activity. I was mentioning how I had been finding it difficult to start working out safety and didn’t know where to start. This was when she recommended her coworker Shannon. I said sure anything that would help would be wonderful! Shannon was just getting a feeler out for her mommy and me workout classes and I signed up right away! I was anxious as any new momma about working out and meeting others but THAT CLASS, all I can say is thank you!! Shannon makes you feel heard, loved and pushes you and also holds your baby when their needing a bit of distraction/love. Needless to say it’s been 4 months now and I’m so thankful I have found these ladies!! I just hope whoever reads this pushes them to go to Pelvico and utilizes their wonderful and much needed services ♥️

Can't recommend Pelvico enough! Shannon's postpartum classes were such a wonderful part of my maternity leave. The classes are so refreshing in that there is no focus on weight loss or bouncing back" after baby but rather meeting each person where they are and having fun in a group of other mamas and babies (while also moving and gaining strength in a safe and fun way!). Shannon pushed me in a gentle and encouraging way to do more than I ever thought I'd be able to do postpartum. I was worried about bringing a cranky and/or tired baby to class but Shannon's flexibility and caring nature made me realize I worried for nothing :)Also highly recommend Pelvico for physio and massages. Every experience there has been wonderful!"

Shannon is an amazing trainer! I've done three 8-week postpartum sessions with her and from day one I've felt comfortable and supported. She offers modifications to exercises as needed and is very knowledgeable in pelvic floor rehab to help mamas get back to exercise safely. The community she creates in her classes is so valuable to new moms and I've found that, on top of getting a good workout, getting to talk to other new moms and to Shannon herself about all things baby has made me feel better all around. I have already recommended Shannon to pregnant & postpartum friends and will continue to do so!

My experience working with Cat at Pelvico has been nothing but positive. She is professional, knowledgeable, and always made me feel 100% comfortable. She walked me through each and every step of the process by giving me both detailed explanations and visuals to help me understand how my body works, she also provided exceptional guidance for self-care and at-home exercises. Through her treatment, I quickly improved. I never hesitate to recommend Cat and the pelvico team to anyone seeking improvement and treatment for pelvic health!! 5 big stars ⭐️

I have nothing but positive things to say about my experience with Pelvico. As a Physiotherapist myself I sought out a pelvic floor Physiotherapist who was using the most up to date evidence for their treatments and found Maria online. During my pregnancy and postpartum I used the Pelvico On Demand platform to keep me on track and motivated to stay active (even physios need help with this!). My birth was slightly complicated but Maria helped me navigate my recovery with compassion and positivity. I also appreciate how curious and excited she is to keep learning and to educate her patients and know she treats cancer patients, male patients and Trans patient. We all have pelvic floors! I would absolutely recommend Pelvico for their health services as well as their online program.
