Karine Major, physiotherapist
Karine began practicing physiotherapy in 2006, after obtaining her Bachelor’s degree from the
University of Ottawa. She started her work in private clinics and shortly thereafter became employed at the Ottawa Hospital, gaining experience in treating patients with complex medical issues.
She has been working as a pelvic health therapist since 2013 – initially at the Ottawa Hospital, and then again turning her attention to the private sector. She has been helping both men and women with urinary incontinence, bowel dysfunction and pelvic pain. She has pursued specific training in urinary incontinence, pelvic pain and ano-rectal dysfunction. She is also trained in manual therapy, post-partum rehabilitation and treating sacro-iliac and pubic pain during and after pregnancy.
In 2012 Karine completed her training in Manual Lymph Drainage and Combined Decongestive Therapy by the Dr Vodder School International, a technique that is recognized internationally for the treatment of orthopedic swelling and lymphedema associated with cancer.
She is passionate about understanding the integrated function of the body as a whole and believes that the key to successful therapy startswith carefully listening to a person’s story.
She is also wonderfully happy to now have the chance to work in her local community.
