Burnaby Physiotherapy
Pelvic Floor Physiotherapy in Burnaby
Pelvic floor concerns can affect exercise, pregnancy and postpartum recovery, bladder control, pressure management, confidence, and overall comfort. Driftwood Athletics offers pelvic health physiotherapy as part of a broader movement-focused model that helps people feel informed, supported, and capable.
What this is ?
Pelvic floor physiotherapy addresses symptoms involving bladder control, pelvic pressure, pain, core and pressure management, pregnancy-related changes, postpartum recovery, and return to activity after life events that affect the pelvic floor system. It is not only about isolated muscle exercises. It is about how breathing, pressure, posture, abdominal wall function, movement strategies, and daily demands interact.
Common causes
People often seek help for leaking with exercise, urgency, pelvic heaviness, discomfort, postpartum return to lifting or running, abdominal wall concerns, and uncertainty around what is safe after pregnancy or other pelvic health changes.
Symptoms and when to get assessed
If you are leaking, feeling pressure or heaviness, dealing with discomfort, or unsure how to return to activity safely, it is worth getting assessed.
How we assess it
A strong assessment should include symptom history, goals, activity demands, breathing and pressure strategy, trunk and hip function, and a clear conversation about what is and is not relevant to the person’s symptoms.
How treatment works
Treatment may include education, breathing and pressure strategies, pelvic floor coordination, return-to-impact progression, strengthening, movement retraining, and graded exposure back to the activities that matter.
Recovery & return to activity
Many people improve when they finally understand that symptoms are influenced by pressure management, strength, timing, and tolerance, not just by doing endless contractions. Rehab should fit the person’s life, goals, and stage of recovery.
Why Choose Driftwood Athletics
Driftwood’s broader movement and training environment makes this especially useful for active adults who want practical guidance for returning to exercise, lifting, and confidence in their body.

Often yes, with an individualized plan and progression.
Do I need to be in severe pain to book?
No. Many people book because they want clarity, prevention, or a safer return to activity.
