Dior was first introduced to pelvic health when shadowing a pelvic health therapist in physiotherapy school. From that moment on, she was drawn to this area of physio as a way to help her clients achieve wholeness in mind and body. She is especially drawn to helping mothers (current and to-be) because when you can help a mom, you help her whole family!
Soon after beginning her career in orthopedics, Dior completed additional training to assess and treat bladder and bowel incontinence, diastasis recti, prolapse, pelvic pain, and other related conditions.
Since then she has continued to round out her unique skill set, which includes visceral fascia mobilization and hypopressive training along with other techniques and exercises.
Dior places a strong emphasis on goal-oriented care and is sensitive to the intimate nature of her patients’ healthcare. She is a strong believer that movement is medicine; through this principle and her work as a physiotherapist she loves to help her clients optimize their quality of life!
