Professional Background

About Karthika Raju

Karthika Raju has been registered with the College of Physiotherapists of Alberta since 2018. She brings extensive experience in private orthopaedic clinical practice with a specialized focus in pelvic floor health, prenatal/postnatal recovery, and functional movement restoration.

Karthika completed advanced post-graduate certifications in pelvic health physiotherapy, enabling her to compassionately assess and treat pelvic organ prolapse, urinary incontinence, diastasis recti, and pelvic girdle pain. All pelvic treatments are conducted with utmost privacy, sensitivity, and dignity in dedicated treatment rooms.
