Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized branch of orthopaedic physiotherapy that focuses on the assessment and treatment of conditions and dysfunctions of the pelvic floor.

The pelvic floor consists of muscles, connective tissue, joints, nerves, and ligaments. Their architectural design creates a bowl or basin at the bottom of the pelvis and functions to support the organs of the abdomen, stabilize the pelvis and hip joint, and maintain urinary continence and sexual function.

Pelvic floor dysfunctions occur when these muscles weaken, become lax, or tighten, preventing the muscles from completing their normal functions. Dysfunctions of the pelvic floor could lead to symptoms such as pain in your lower back, hips or pelvis, pelvic pressure or heaviness, constipation, incontinence, and pain with intercourse.

Pelvic health physiotherapy addresses these dysfunctions and symptoms by retraining the structures of the pelvic floor in order to improve their function and strength.

Acupuncture is a traditional Chinese medical procedure that involves inserting thin needles into specific areas on the skin. The pathways (meridians) that connect these points (known as acupoints) are believed to be where energy (referred to as 'qi') flows throughout the body. By stimulating these acupoints with needles, practitioners aim to rebalance energy flow and restore health. Acupuncture is generally safe and has been used for pain management, addressing health concerns, and improving overall well-being.

Facial Acupuncture involves inserting tiny needles into specific points on the face to stimulate the skin and underlying muscles of the face. The aim is to improve te skin's appearance by encouraging blood flow, collagen and elastin production, which can help reduce wrinkles, fine lines, and other signs of aging.

Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), also known as Oriental medicine, is a medical system that has been used for thousands of years to prevent, diagnose, and treat disease. It is based on the belief that qi (the body's vital energy) flows along meridians (channels) in the body and keeps a person’s spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical health in balance.

Traditional Chinese Medicine is based on theories about qi - a vital energy - which is said to flow along channels called meridians and help the body to maintain health. In acupuncture, needles puncture the skin to tap into any of the hundreds of points on the meridians where the flow of qi can be redirected to restore health.

My professional career spans across four continents, and a variety of cultural, political and economic contexts, originating in my native Poland, through the USA, Kazakhstan, New Zealand, and Canada. I received my clinical training and Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) at New York University, and at the Toronto Psychoanalytic Society (TPS) & University of Toronto Faculty of Medicine. This was followed by work in community mental health centers for adults, children and adolescents, and a psychotherapy institute, as well as working for the social inclusion of people with Developmental Disabilities. In addition, I enrich my insight, knowledge and skills by continuing training in such approaches as psychodynamic psychotherapy, solution-focused therapy, and dialecticalbehavioural therapy. I work with individuals and couples (straight and LGBTQ) to better understand their circumstances, strengths, and resources they already come with, as well as to search for the meaning and solutions to the challenges people face in everyday life. My patients come from a variety of racial, socio-economic, cultural, geographic, and faith or non-religious backgrounds.

Vivian started to lift weights as a skinny teenager and quickly learned the feel-good value of regular exercise. She played some sports in high school, not at a high skill level, but enjoyed participating in physical activity as a part of a team. At the suggestion of her history teacher, she applied to study physical education and it was the best decision ever! Studying physical education at the University of Toronto fuelled her interest in health and wellness, which became a passion in empowering others.

Vivian started a career in personal training over 20 years ago and returned to teaching group exercise in 2016 with the Toronto Athletic Club and the Adelaide Club. Teaching a variety of classes at the Clubs was awesome, as Vivian so enjoyed sharing fitness, health, and yoga with as many people as possible. A new weekly playlist at her cycle class was always a major highlight!

It took a few years to learn balance in physical exercise and finding yoga practice was a turning point in truly tuning in and learning how much exercise is healthy. Having meditation as a daily habit is key, so is doing what you love! Finding appreciation anywhere you are in life, especially for people around you, helps bring more fulfillment.
