Pelvic floor health is about more than just doing Kegels 👀

Your pelvic floor works together with your breathing, core, hips, and movement patterns.

The right exercises can help improve coordination, strength, and relaxation so your body can function more comfortably.

Everyone’s needs are different, which is why a personalized approach matters.

If you have questions about pelvic floor health or want guidance on where to start, book an assessment and let’s take a look together. 🌿

Meet Nilu Mahavitane 👋

A Senior Physiotherapist at our Pickering location, Nilu has been part of the Body Works / Physical Therapy One team since 2005.

Interestingly, her path into physiotherapy started with an injury of her own. After a knee injury required surgery and physiotherapy, she experienced firsthand how rehab could help her return to the sports and activities she loved.

That experience continues to shape the way Nilu works with her patients today, helping them build confidence, improve their function, and work toward getting back to the activities that matter to them.

Outside the clinic, Nilu enjoys playing volleyball and spending time with her family. 🏐

We’re proud to have Nilu as part of our team!

Knee pain making stairs, squats, or everyday movement feel harder? 👀

Here are 5 exercises we may use when working with patellofemoral knee pain:

🦵 Step-downs
🦶 Tibialis raises
🧱 Wall sits
🏋️ Banded knee squats
🚶 Backward treadmill walking

They’re all about building strength, control, and tolerance around the knee.

And remember: the best exercise plan is the one that matches your knee, your symptoms, and your goals.

Inside a neck stiffness treatment session 👀

From assessment to hands-on treatment, here’s a look at how we work with a patient experiencing restricted neck movement.

Treatment is always based on what we find and what the patient needs.

Wait till the end to see the difference! 👀

Knee pain can make everyday movements feel harder than they should 🦵

The right rehab approach is not just about reducing discomfort. It’s about rebuilding strength, mobility, and confidence so your knee can handle the activities you enjoy.

Knee rehab is different for everyone, which is why exercises should be based on your movement, goals, and recovery stage.

If knee pain is limiting your daily life, book an assessment and let’s create a plan that fits you. 🌱

Patient: "One more?"

Physio: "Yep... just one."

Also physio: 5 more reps. 😅

There's always a reason for those extra reps, they're helping you get stronger, one rep at a time.

Tag someone who's definitely heard "just one more." 👇
