Women’s Health in Kelowna at Move RX
Strong, Pain-Free, & Empowered Through Every Stage of Womanhood
From postpartum recovery to period pain relief, Move RX helps women move better, feel better, and perform better — with evidence-based rehab and advanced therapies like shockwave.
Why Women’s Health Matters
Women’s health is about more than annual check-ups — it’s about addressing the unique challenges women face at every stage of life. From postpartum recovery after childbirth and C-section scar pain, to managing pelvic pain, period pain, and hormonal changes, too many women are told to “just live with it.” At Move RX in Kelowna, we specialize in rehab, chiropractic care, and shockwave therapy designed specifically for women. Our goal is to help moms, athletes, and active women reduce pain, restore mobility, and build strength so they can feel confident in their bodies again.
Our Core Focus Areas
Postpartum Pain Relief
Pregnancy and birth place incredible demands on the body. Many women experience C-section scar pain, pelvic girdle discomfort, hip or back pain, and mobility restrictions long after delivery. At Move RX in Kelowna, we use rehab, chiropractic care, and shockwave therapy to reduce scar sensitivity, improve mobility, and help moms return to lifting, sport, and daily life with confidence

Period Pain & Hormonal Health
Painful periods, endometriosis, and hormone-related pelvic or abdominal wall tension can keep women from training, working, or enjoying life. These issues are often dismissed as “normal,” but they’re not. Our team provides non-invasive shockwave therapy, rehab, and women’s health-focused chiropractic care to reduce cramping, improve mobility, and complement the care you may already be receiving from your OB-GYN or naturopath.
Pelvic & Women’s Performance Rehab
Women shouldn’t have to choose between being active and being pain-free. Whether you’re a new mom, a CrossFitter, or an athlete in your 40s or 50s, our clinic specializes in pelvic rehab, mobility training, and strength programs designed for women. We help you address leaks, pain, or movement restrictions so you can stay strong in the gym, on the trails, and in everyday life.

Shockwave Therapy:
A Game-Changer for Women’s Health
What is Shockwave Therapy?
Shockwave therapy is a safe, non-invasive treatment that uses acoustic waves to stimulate healing, reduce pain, and break down scar tissue. It’s widely used in sports medicine, and at Move RX in Kelowna, we’ve adapted it as a powerful tool for postpartum recovery and women’s health care.

Some More Shockwave Therapy Information
-
Patients can experience minor soreness after a shockwave therapy treatment, especially after the first session. However, the discomfort will go away in a short period.
-
Often you will feel the effects of Shockwave therapy for 15-30 minutes afterwards, and on rare occurrences, patients can feel soreness for a day. If you need, you can take Tylenol for pain control. Bruising and swelling are also possible side effects from the treatment, but that should be resolved in a few days.
-
People who suffer from chronic conditions that cause pain are the ideal fit for shockwave therapy. In addition, shockwave therapy treats athletes for sports injuries such as tennis elbow, jumpers knee, painful shoulder, and more.
Shockwave therapy is not recommended for children, patients whose blood clots easily, women who are pregnant or people who have nerve or circulation disorders, metabolic bone conditions or bone disorders. If you need clarification on Shockwave therapy, Dr. Col can advise if the treatment is right for you.
