Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Vancouver: What It Is and How In-Home Care Can Help You Heal

Cover image for ĀLow Mobile Physio’s blog post titled 'Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Vancouver: What It Is & How In-Home Care Can Help You Heal,' featuring a physiotherapist assisting a woman with core exercises using an exercise ball.

Your pelvic floor is a powerful group of muscles, ligaments, and connective tissue at the base of your pelvis — think of it like a supportive hammock.


These muscles control your bladder and bowel, support your pelvic organs, contribute to core strength and stability, and even play a key role in sexual function.


But just like any other part of the body, the pelvic floor can become weak, tense, painful, or uncoordinated. And when that happens, you may experience symptoms like:

  • Bladder leaks or urgency

  • Pelvic pressure or heaviness

  • Constipation

  • Pelvic pain or discomfort

  • Lower back pain or instability


What Is Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy?

Pelvic floor physiotherapy is a specialized branch of physical therapy that focuses on evaluating and treating conditions related to pelvic floor dysfunction.

At ĀLow Mobile Physio, our trained pelvic health physiotherapists conduct thorough, consent-based assessments in the comfort of your home. These may include:

  • Postural, breathing, and movement pattern assessments

  • Evaluation of your abdominal and core function

  • Strengthening or relaxation of the pelvic floor

  • Gentle release techniques to reduce tension

  • Guidance on lifestyle habits that affect pelvic health (e.g. lifting, toileting, exercise)


Internal exams are always optional, fully consent-based, and guided at your comfort level. You are always in control.
