Vancouver Physiotherapy Services

Physiotherapists are body experts. They are specially trained to assess and treat the problems that affect the way you move, work, and play. If you are having pain, weakness, or poor performance with any of your activities, physiotherapy can help.

In addition to her general physiotherapy practice, Becky has extra training and experience in the following areas:

• Women’s health
• Men’s health
• Pelvic floor retraining
• Arthritis care
• Joint replacement rehabilitation
• Chronic pain management

Women’s Health
Certain events in a woman’s life can affect pelvic floor muscle function. Pregnancy, labour and delivery, menopause, abdominal or pelvic surgery, and even cancer treatment can change the way your pelvic floor muscles support your internal organs, including your bladder, rectum, and uterus. This can result in:

• bladder incontinence
• bowel incontinence
• prolapse
• chronic pelvic pain (dyspareunia, vestibulodynia, interstitial cystitis)
• constipation

If you have experienced any of these problems, physiotherapy can help.

Men’s Health
Prostate surgery and inflammation of the prostate gland are two conditions that affect the male pelvic floor muscles. If you are experiencing urine leakage after prostate surgery or are troubled by chronic pelvic pain (prostatitis), physiotherapy treatment can help.

Pelvic Floor Retraining
The pelvic floor muscles are a vital part of core strength, stability, and function. When these muscles are weak, stretched, or too tight, problems can occur with bladder and bowel function, pelvic pain, and low back pain. Through muscle retraining, the pelvic floor muscles will be optimized to reach their full potential, maximizing your core strength and function.

Arthritis Care
Stiff, painful joints are a major symptom of arthritis. When it is painful to move, your lifestyle changes dramatically. Physiotherapy treatment will reduce your pain, restore and maintain your strength, flexibility, and mobility, and allow you to get back to the activities you love to do.

Joint Replacement Rehabilitation
Joint replacement surgery can be an overwhelming experience. If you have had surgery, physiotherapy treatment can help reduce your post-operative pain, improve your strength and flexibility, and get you moving well again. If you are waiting for a joint replacement, physiotherapy treatment before your surgery will better prepare you for your post-operative recovery.

Chronic Pain Management
Living with chronic or persistent pain is extremely challenging. If you want to reduce your pain and learn to move well again, physiotherapy treatment can help. Through education, exercise, pain management and relaxation techniques, physiotherapy is an important part of chronic pain management.
