Pelvic Floor

💡 Did you know that April is C-Section Awareness Month? 💡

Did you know that Dr. Murphy with Pauline McDonagh Hull published “Choosing Cesarean; A Natural Birth Plan” in 2012?

The book demonstrates that a planned Cesarean is a safe and sometimes preferred alternative to a planned vaginal delivery.

Surgery for Pelvic Organ Prolapse… 🥑

The success rate of this surgery is high - about 94% when defining it as the absence of the prolapse beyond the h***n (MD Barber 2009).

Did you know that the recurrence rate for this type of surgery is also quite high? Literature shows us that it’s around 25% (M Kayondo 2022).

This is because while the surgery repairs the stretched tissues, it doesn’t repair the individual risk factors that caused your prolapse in the first place.

These statistics are to show you that what you do after the surgery is just as important as the surgery itself!

Pelvic floor physio addresses individual factors that may be contributing to your risk of recurrence! Some examples include constipation, breath holding, inappropriate core or high impact exercises. Our goal is to identify these risk factors to prevent repeat prolapse!

We also address any additional symptoms that you may be experiencing after the surgery (back pain, pain with in*******se, bowel/bladder concerns).

Bottom line: See a pelvic floor physio after your pelvic floor surgery! It just makes sense 🤔

Let’s talk about Menopause

Did you know that 40% of women wait a year or more to report symptoms of genitourinary syndrome of menopause (GSM) to their healthcare provider?

And did you know approximately 70-80% of post menopausal women suffer from GSM?

Some commonly reported symptoms include painful in*******se, vaginal dryness, itching or burning, and bladder symptoms such as urgency, frequency and incontinence.

During Menopause we see a lot of hormone changes (such as the overall decrease of estrogen and progesterone). This has a large effect on vaginal tissue

🌵 Among these changes include vaginal atrophy (thinning and drying of vaginal walls)

TREATMENT can include:
🌸 Vaginal Estrogen
🌸 External moisturizers
🌸 Water based lubricant
🌸 Pelvic floor physio
🌸 Vaginal laser and PRP

Find out how our clinic can help you with these concerns!

Painful in*******se has several causes, two of the most common being:
1. The narrowing of the vaginal opening
2. And/or a thinning of vaginal walls called vaginal atrophy.

When the vaginal walls start thinning, it can lead to dryness and irritation. There are several ways to treat this but we offer a solution that requires your attention only once per year.

Our Erbium laser treatment combined with our Platelet Rich Plasma (PRP) can be an effective substitute for long-term estrogen administration and boosts the nutrients entering the vaginal tissue leading to quicker results!

🎄It's our last Wellness Wednesday before the holiday weekend!

We encourage you to spend this wellness day with your friends and family and be together as we draw closer to the end of the year. Relax, refresh, and recharge with those around you!

It's a procedure that helps reduce irritation, discomfort, and chafing of the l***a during physical activities such as (but not limited to) running, bike riding, or hiking. This can be caused from asymmetry of the l***a rubbing together during repeated movements.

We embrace all variations of the human body but we also understand that sometimes the asymmetrical parts such as significantly uneven l***a can lead to discomfort.

Dr. Murphy uses 2 Fotona laser systems to shape and trim the l***a to achieve optimal results to help you look and feel your best. 🌸

If this sounds like something you've experienced, give our clinic a call to book a free consultation with Dr. Murphy to go more in depth about the procedure. (403) 692-0440

We did! 🌸
Now is a great time to do them while you're scrolling by 😉

Do you experience painful in*******se? Are you struggling with decreased sexual gratification? Decreased sensation and pleasure? Our laser treatment can help.

💦 Our vaginal laser helps to increase tissue elasticity and tighten your vaginal opening.

Call our clinic to discuss your concerns! 403-692-0440

🌸We will listen to you without judgement.
🌸We will ask you tons of questions. Some may seem embarrassing and quite personal, but it is important to gain a full understanding of your history.
🌸There is NO such thing as “TMI”.
🌸They will assess breathing pattern, thoracic and lumbar spine, and pelvis. Pelvic floor dysfunction is often a functional problem and we have to assess other joints and muscles to identify all contributors.
🌸If an internal assessment is appropriate and we gain your consent, we may perform a vaginal and or re**al exam.
🌸Through this entire process, we will be explaining exactly what we are doing. There will be no surprises.
🌸Following the assessment we will go over our findings with you, get you started with a treatment plan, talk about prognosis and estimated timelines!

Guess what day it is! Yep, you guessed it. 😉

The end-of-year holiday season is approaching and we think this is the best time to start taking it easy. Rest. Relax. Recharge. Take a Spa-day! Let's all wind down and find time to be well.

FUN FACT: Our name isn't just a name. It's a symbol!

The protea flower represents strength, courage, and resilience. 🌸

Dr. Magnus Murphy chose this flower to represent his clinic because of the deep symbolism and history it holds in his life. But the bigger picture is what it represents for his patients: diversity, self-regeneration, and longevity.

Rooted in South African traditions, the protea flower brings hope as it endures extreme conditions to survive and flourish. We wish to bring this same hope to our patients to help them thrive during their most difficult times.

Our certified Physical Therapists, Cosmetic Specialists, and Surgical Staff are here to answer your most difficult questions when it comes to your most intimate needs. We ask so we can determine treatments that could be right for you.
