Vancouver Physiotherapy Services

Our pelvic floor physiotherapists provide private, judgment-free care for bladder control issues, bowel dysfunction, and pelvic pain. We work with both women and men dealing with incontinence, postpartum recovery, prolapse, and sexual dysfunction. Treatment includes internal and external techniques, targeted exercises, and practical strategies for daily life. Whether you're preparing for childbirth or recovering from it, or dealing with pelvic issues at any stage of life, we help you regain control and comfort.

Jaw pain, clicking, and difficulty chewing can make everyday activities genuinely frustrating. Our physiotherapists assess how your jaw moves, identify muscle tension patterns, and examine how your neck and posture contribute to the problem. Treatment combines hands-on therapy to release tight muscles, exercises to restore proper jaw mechanics, and education on habits that may be making things worse. We address temporomandibular joint dysfunction at its source so you can eat, talk, and yawn without discomfort.

IMS uses fine needles to release chronically tight muscles that have become shortened due to nerve irritation. Unlike regular massage or stretching, IMS targets the root cause of persistent pain that hasn't responded to other treatments. The technique works particularly well for conditions like sciatica, tennis elbow, and chronic neck pain where muscles stay contracted even at rest. You might feel a deep ache or twitch during treatment, followed by significant relief as the muscle finally releases and lets go.

Dry needling targets stubborn trigger points and tight muscle bands that refer pain to other areas of your body. We insert fine needles into these problem spots to release tension, improve blood flow, and kick-start your body's natural healing response. The technique is effective for chronic muscle pain, headaches, and conditions that haven't improved with traditional treatment approaches. Most people feel immediate relief as the muscle releases, though some soreness in the treated area for a day or two afterward is normal.

Been in a car accident? We handle ICBC claims directly so you can focus entirely on getting better and returning to your normal activities. Whiplash, soft tissue injuries, and accident-related pain often worsen if left untreated, so early intervention matters. Our team assesses the full impact of your injuries and creates a comprehensive treatment plan addressing everything from neck stiffness to headaches and back pain. We document your progress for ICBC and work with you until you're feeling like yourself.

Workplace injuries need proper care to heal correctly and prevent long-term problems from developing down the road. We're registered WorkSafe BC providers and handle all the paperwork so you can concentrate fully on your recovery. Whether you've hurt your back lifting, developed repetitive strain from your job duties, or sustained an acute injury at work, we create a personalized treatment plan focused on getting you back to your job safely. We communicate with your employer and case manager throughout.

Back and neck pain can stem from many different sources, and finding the actual cause is the first step toward lasting relief. We assess your posture, movement patterns, and daily activities to understand what's driving your pain. Treatment combines hands-on therapy to address tight muscles and stiff joints with targeted exercises that build strength where you need it most. Our goal is helping you understand your pain, giving you tools to manage flare-ups, and preventing the problem from coming back.

Knee pain affects how you walk, climb stairs, and stay active throughout your daily life. We treat everything from ligament sprains and meniscus injuries to arthritis and post-surgical rehabilitation needs. Our assessment looks at your hip, ankle, and foot mechanics too, since problems elsewhere often show up as knee pain. Treatment includes hands-on therapy, strengthening exercises for the muscles that support your knee, and guidance on activity modification so you can stay active while you heal.

Getting back to your sport requires more than just waiting for pain to fade away on its own. We treat the injury, identify what caused it, and build strength to prevent it from happening again in the future. Our approach combines hands-on treatment for acute symptoms with progressive exercises that prepare you for sport-specific demands. Whether you've sprained an ankle, strained a hamstring, or developed an overuse injury, we design your rehab around the physical requirements of your particular sport.

Surgery is just the beginning of your recovery journey toward restored function and mobility. Our post-surgical rehabilitation programs follow evidence-based protocols while adapting to how your body responds along the way. We work closely with your surgeon's guidelines, progressing your exercises as healing allows. From knee replacements to rotator cuff repairs, we help you regain strength, restore range of motion, and return to the activities that matter most to you. Patience and consistency lead to the best outcomes.

That shooting pain down your leg often starts with nerve irritation in your lower back or pelvis area. We identify what's compressing or irritating your sciatic nerve, whether it's a disc issue, muscle tightness, or joint dysfunction contributing to the problem. Treatment focuses on reducing inflammation around the nerve, releasing muscles that may be contributing to compression, and teaching you positions and movements that give your nerve space to heal. Most sciatica improves significantly with proper conservative care.

Shoulder problems range from rotator cuff strains to frozen shoulder to impingement, and each one requires a different treatment approach. We assess how your shoulder blade, spine, and neck contribute to your pain pattern. Treatment includes hands-on work to restore joint mobility, specific exercises targeting the rotator cuff and scapular muscles, and modifications to activities that aggravate your symptoms. Our aim is restoring pain-free movement for reaching, lifting, and all of your daily activities.
