Pelvic health physiotherapy also called pelvic floor physiotherapy is therapy to address the pain and function related to issues originating from or involving the pelvic area. The pelvic area is the lower part of the trunk of the human body between the abdomen and the legs. If you think of the pelvis as being the home to organs like the bladder, rectum, and uterus (or prostate in men), the pelvic floor muscles are the home’s foundation.

Hi, my name is Magesh and I am a Physiotherapist at Physio Care Owen Sound.

I have completed ongoing professional education in various manual therapy techniques including the Level 1 and Level 2 courses in Fascial Manipulation (TM) in Canada, which has been an important addition to my clinical expertise. Fascial Manipulation (TM) is a manual therapy method where the foundation is in assessing the body as a whole and not just “where it hurts” or where the problems appear to be.

I use a combination of manual therapy techniques, acupuncture/dry needling, specific customized exercises program and education/ergonomic advises to address the pain and dysfunction of various spinal and peripheral disorders to reduce pain, improve movement, and restore individuals back into their functional activities.

I identify my interest aligning well with a clinic-based work setting, where I feel that I am able to see my clients getting better and fully integrating back into their work and things that they enjoy.

When not working, I enjoy spending time with my family, reading books, and exploring the beautiful outdoors of Owen Sound with my wife. I look forward to meeting and working with people within the scope of physiotherapy to help them realize and achieve their goals.
