Think Outside the Box.
A smarter approach to pain, pelvic health, and recovery.

Your health matters.

 

Hi, I’m Kyla! It’s nice to meet you.

My name is Kyla Hotham. I am a registered physiotherapist specializing in pelvic health, postpartum recovery, and persistent pain.

I work with women who are active, capable, and motivated — but stuck. Many have tried physiotherapy, exercise programs, or “doing all the right things,” yet continue to experience pain, pelvic health symptoms, or setbacks when they increase load or return to activity.

These patterns are rarely caused by a single weak muscle or poor posture.

They are usually driven by a combination of nervous system response, pressure management, movement strategy, and overall capacity. Treating one piece in isolation often leads to short-term relief and long-term frustration.

My approach focuses on addressing these root drivers, not chasing symptoms.

I prioritize body literacy — helping women understand what their symptoms mean, how their body responds to stress and load, and how to adjust movement and training accordingly. This allows care to progress beyond rigid rules, fear-based restrictions, or endless “activation” work.

Treatment integrates:

  • evidence-based physiotherapy

  • nervous system–informed care

  • progressive, functional strength

  • individualized education aligned with real-life demands

I have a particular interest in working with health conscious women who want to understand their bodies, make informed decisions about their health, and return to movement with confidence.

My role is not to fix your body.
It is to assess, educate, and guide you toward lasting, adaptable recovery.

If you are looking for quick fixes or passive treatment, this is not the right fit. If you want clarity, competence, and an approach that respects your intelligence and autonomy, you’re in the right place.

What people are saying.

  • Kyla is amazing! I am currently seeing her for pelvic floor physiotherapy (28 weeks pregnant) and she's been such a source of comfort and education. Kyla truly takes a holistic approach to care, she meets you where you are and helps take you to where you need to be in terms of your goals and your own health. She puts you in the drivers seat and helps you to feel empowered in your journey so that you can advocate for yourself (so important in pregnancy and postpartum!) I highly recommend Kyla to anyone who is seeking pelvic floor physiotherapy, she will be a true teammate and an invaluable part of your journey.

  • I started seeing Kyla before the birth of my first baby. Kyla not only helped me with my prenatal back pain, but she also talked me through birth, postpartum, and managing boundaries once the baby came. She is compassionate and kind and easy to talk to. I instantly felt comfortable with her and appreciated her insight and support. After the birth of my baby, I met with Kyla. I had a C-section and she was incredibly helpful with getting me up and moving. Thank you so much for making my birth and postpartum experience a positive one. I am so appreciative.

  • As a first time mom in august 2021, one of the best decisions that I made in the early(ish) postpartum period was to book my first visit with Kyla for pelvic floor physio. My only regret is that I didn’t see her sooner and/or during my pregnancy. Kyla is an amazing physiotherapist and she helped me with various physical concerns that I had. Kyla asked very thorough questions and used a number of teaching methods to help me understand where my discomforts were coming from and how we could work together to reduce the pain I was experiencing. More than just that though, Kyla offered a listening ear and amazing advice and support during a new and in many ways difficult transition in my life. Kyla truly made me feel heard and the support she provided both physically and emotionally cannot be put into words. I left my appointments with Kyla feeling great both physically and emotionally. Her passion for women’s health is so genuine and inspiring!

  • Went to see Kyla for some pelvic floor physio for my postpartum recovery. So happy I found her. She addressed my concerns while making me feel comfortable and empowered! Kyla is easy to talk to and very knowledgeable. Would recommend any women to see her either during pregnancy or postpartum :)

    -Brooke

  • Kyla helped me feel good and get back to my healthy self in a short amount of time. I tell everyone about her! You won’t be disappointed. Make sure to practice the exercises at home that she gives you. They make all the difference!

    -Sasha

  • As a first time mom, I was not ready for the postpartum changes my body would experience. Kyla Hotham helped me understand and guide me through my pelvic health recovery. She gave me the confidence to resume working out through a few pelvic exercises and breathing techniques. She's very knowledgeable in pelvic health and thorough in her examination. I highly recommend working with her!

    -Ruth

  • I have been seeing Kyla since I was about 7 weeks postpartum from the birth of my second child. She is incredibly knowledgeable and truly cares about her patients. Even after my first appointment, I already felt some relief and was confident she would be able to address my concerns. I feel great now and am so thankful for Kyla's guidance and help. I would 100% recommend her to any woman who has had a baby, she is fabulous!
