At Gastown Physio & Pilates, we treat everyone from Vancouver’s office workers to professional and amateur athletes alike. Using an integrated approach, our team of Physiotherapists are highly trained to conduct a complete biomechanical assessment and provide advanced treatment to help your pain and dysfunction.

Clinical Pilates is offered by our Physiotherapists and Kinesiologists, and is designed to ensure correct muscle balance through prescribed corrective exercises.

Currently, our Pelvic Health program provides women with professional care in an area that has historically been unacknowledged in the medical community. Our current services target the individual needs of the pre and postnatal client, which include the assessment and treatment of pelvic floor dysfunction.
In the near future, we will be expanding upon our current services to provide comprehensive assessment and treatment for male patients who may also experience pelvic floor dysfunction.
