A biopsychosocial approach to pelvic health

Shaima is passionate about empowering women and educating them about their bodies. She believes that a huge part of recovery is our mental state. Her psychology background has allowed her to apply a biopsychosocial treatment approach for long term benefits and recovery. She believes in autonomy and ensuring her patients feel heard.
With a main focus on perinatal care, Shaima treats a range of pelvic floor conditions. Her treatment style takes an active approach and includes a combination of education, home-exercise program, and self-management strategies for long term recovery.
An active approach built for long-term recovery
Every care plan combines the same three elements, tailored to your symptoms, goals, and schedule.
Education first
Understanding your pelvic floor, what its roles are, what can go wrong, and how to treat and prevent dysfunction is the foundation of lasting recovery.
Home-exercise program
An active approach built around a personalized home-exercise program that fits into your daily routine and your energy levels.
Self-management strategies
Practical tools you can use on your own so progress continues between sessions and long after care ends.
Why PFH Physiotherapy was founded
Shaima felt a gap in her community where women believed having pelvic floor dysfunction is the norm and they should continue living with the pain. She also saw the difficulty for moms to make the time to see a pelvic floor physiotherapist with their busy schedules. Thus, PFH Physiotherapy was born, where women can be comfortable seeking help for their pelvic floor concerns, all from the comfort and safety of their own home.
Our mission
Our mission is to empower women of all ages to optimize their health and wellness, without compromising their comfort or busy schedules. Education is key to understanding our bodies and how to heal them, yet the pelvic floor is often overlooked.
We recognize that discussing pelvic floor dysfunction can be sensitive and uncomfortable, and that pregnancy and motherhood can be a challenging time to leave your house for appointments. Our virtual clinic makes our services accessible to all women across Ontario, so you can achieve your pelvic health, pregnancy, birth prep, or postpartum goals all from the comfort of your own home.
