Is Pain, Injury or a Change in Your Physical Function Affecting How You Live?
You may be recovering from an injury or surgery but still feel weak, stiff or uncertain about returning to your usual activities.
Perhaps recurring back, neck, shoulder, hip or joint pain is affecting your work, sleep or ability to exercise. You may also be navigating bladder leakage, pelvic discomfort, pregnancy, postpartum changes or persistent core concerns.
Even after trying rest, exercises or previous treatment, you may not feel as comfortable, strong or confident as you would like.
You deserve care that considers more than one painful area or isolated symptom.
We provide personalized physiotherapy to help you understand what may be contributing to your concerns, restore function and develop practical strategies for moving forward.
Orthopaedic and

Your pain or injury can affect far more than one part of your body. It can interfere with your work, sleep, exercise, family responsibilities and confidence in movement.

Back and neck pain
Shoulder, hip and knee concerns
Muscle, tendon and joint injuries
Repetitive-strain and overuse conditions
Reduced mobility, strength or balance
Recurring or persistent pain
Pain affecting work, sleep or exercise
Difficulty returning to activity following an injury
Weakness, stiffness or reduced function after surgery
Care may include education, hands-on treatment, therapeutic exercise, movement retraining and practical self-management strategies.

Hennie is a physical therapist practising in British Columbia and a dedicated advocate for women’s health. Over the past 16 years, she has supported individuals across orthopaedic conditions, persistent pain management, pelvic floor rehabilitation, pelvic health concerns, post-surgical recovery and other complex health experiences.
Hennie also advanced her clinical experience at Richmond Hospital, serving people across acute care, residential care, palliative care and community health. This breadth of experience established a strong foundation for her compassionate, evidence-informed and whole-person approach to physical therapy.

She has also pursued education in mindfulness-based approaches to persistent pain and women’s cancer rehabilitation.
Today, Hennie combines clinical assessment, hands-on care, therapeutic movement, education and practical self-management strategies to help individuals restore function and participate confidently in their recovery.
What to Expect When You Begin Physiotherapy
We Start With a Personalized Assessment
Your care begins with a conversation about what you are experiencing, how your concerns affect your life and what you would like to return to doing.
We will ask about your relevant health history, symptoms, previous treatment, daily activities and personal goals. This helps identify the factors that may be contributing to your concerns and guides the next steps in your care.
We Explore Relevant Movement and Function
Depending on your concerns, your assessment may explore mobility, strength, posture, breathing, balance, core function, movement patterns and other factors related to your symptoms.
We will explain what we observe in clear, supportive language so you can better understand what may be contributing to your concerns.
We Develop a Plan Together
Your recommendations will be based on your assessment, symptoms, health history, daily life and goals, not a generic collection of exercises.
Your treatment plan may include education, hands-on care, therapeutic exercise, movement retraining and practical strategies for supporting your recovery between appointments.
You will be encouraged to ask questions, express your preferences and participate in decisions about your care.
Special Areas of Care
Alongside general orthopaedic and post-surgical physiotherapy, Hennie has a special interest in women's health, pelvic floor rehabilitation, cancer rehabilitation and trauma-informed care.
Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
The pelvic floor is closely connected to bladder, bowel, sexual and core function.
We provide personalized pelvic health physiotherapy for individuals navigating
concerns such as:
Bladder leakage and urinary urgency
Pelvic organ prolapse
Pelvic pain
Painful intercourse
Pregnancy-related pelvic, hip or back pain
Postpartum core and pelvic-floor recovery
Abdominal separation and persistent core concerns
Difficulty returning to exercise after childbirth
Changes in pelvic floor muscles during perimenopause and menopause
Care may include education, hands-on treatment, therapeutic exercise, movement retraining and practical self-management strategies.
For individuals recovering from surgery, rehabilitation is adapted to the surgery, stage of healing, medical recommendations and personal goals.
Care may include pelvic-health education, external assessment and when clinically appropriate and with informed consent, internal pelvic-floor assessment.
Treatment may also incorporate hands-on care, breathing, pelvic-floor coordination, core rehabilitation, functional movement and nervous-system regulation.
Our approach extends beyond isolated pelvic-floor muscle training. We consider how breathing, core function, movement, pain, stress and an individual’s broader health experience may influence pelvic-health concerns.
When clinically appropriate, physiotherapy intervention will also include PfilAtes and trauma-informed therapeutic Yoga to support functional progression—helping you rebuild strength, balance, mobility, and confidence as you return to work, sports, and the activities you love.
Understand Your Assessment Options
For pelvic-health concerns, we recommend beginning with a virtual pelvic health physiotherapy appointment, available to patients physically located in British Columbia.
Pelvic-health symptoms can feel personal, complex or difficult to discuss. Beginning virtually provides a private and comfortable opportunity to share your concerns, ask questions and understand your care options before deciding whether an in-person appointment is needed.
Together we can discuss:
The pelvic-health symptoms you are experiencing
When and how your symptoms began
Pregnancy, birth, surgery or other relevant health experiences
Bladder, bowel, sexual, pelvic-floor or core concerns
Pain, pressure, tension or changes in function
Activities that improve or aggravate your symptoms
Previous treatment and strategies you have already tried
We can then help determine the most appropriate next step. This may include continued virtual physiotherapy, an in-person appointment or further assessment.
If an in-person pelvic-health assessment is recommended, we will explain whether an external assessment of pelvic-floor activation, breathing patterns and movement, or an internal assessment of pelvic-floor muscle tone and strength may be clinically indicated based on your concerns.
An internal pelvic-floor assessment is never automatically required. It will only be considered when clinically indicated, explained beforehand and completed with your informed consent.
Benefits of Virtual Pelvic Health Physiotherapy
Begin in a Familiar and Private Environment
Discussing bladder, bowel, sexual or pelvic-health symptoms may feel easier from the privacy and comfort of your own home.
Receive Education and Practical Strategies
Many elements of pelvic health physiotherapy do not require hands-on treatment.
Pelvic-health education
Bladder and bowel habit guidance
Pain science education
Nervous-system regulation strategies
Breathing coordination and pressure management strategies
Reduce Travel and Scheduling Barriers
Determine the Most Appropriate Next Step
Continued virtual pelvic health physiotherapy
An in-person pelvic-floor activation, breathing-pattern and movement assessment completed externally
An in-person internal pelvic-floor muscle tone and strength assessment, when clinically indicated and consented to
A combination of virtual and in-person care
Referral to another appropriate healthcare professional
The recommended pathway will depend on your symptoms, goals, preferences and clinical needs.
Physiotherapy That Considers the Bigger Picture
Pain and movement concerns do not always exist in isolation. Strength, mobility, breathing, pelvic health, sleep, stress, previous injuries, surgery and everyday demands can all influence how the body feels and functions. Rooted in a biopsychosocial model of care, we consider both your physical symptoms and the broader circumstances affecting your health and recovery. The goal is not simply to give you more exercises. It is to help you understand your body and create a personalized, sustainable path forward.
Trauma-Informed Rehabilitation
We recognize that physical assessment and treatment can sometimes feel vulnerable, particularly when pain, pelvic health, surgery or difficult health experiences are involved. Trauma-informed rehabilitation is a respectful approach designed to help each individual feel heard, informed and involved in their care.
Our trauma-informed approach emphasizes:
Clear communication
Collaboration
Choice and personal autonomy
Informed consent
Emotional and physical safety
Client-centred practices
Ready to Take the Next Step?
You do not have to keep guessing what your body needs or continually adapting your life around pain, injury, weakness or pelvic-health concerns.
