Pelvic & Reproductive Health
The Pelvic and Reproductive Health (PRH) division is a not-for-profit division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association (CPA) that is managed, operated, and advanced by volunteers with a passion for pelvic health. We are a dynamic group, national in scope, that effectively facilitates communication, education and service delivery for physiotherapy practitioners on topics specific to pelvic health.
The former Women’s Health Division of the Canadian Physiotherapy Association has undertaken a name change to become the Pelvic and Reproductive Health Division in order to better reflect the evolving scope of practice and the realities of contemporary society. This change recognizes that pelvic and reproductive health concerns affect people of all genders across the lifespan and that physiotherapy practice in this area extends beyond a women-only framework. The updated name aligns the Division with inclusive, person-centred language, current scientific knowledge, and broader societal shifts toward equity and diversity, while maintaining a strong commitment to clinical excellence, advocacy, and education in pelvic and reproductive health physiotherapy.
