Your pelvic floor does not work in isolation — neither should your care.
Core-to-Floor™ is A Step Above Wellness Centre®'s broader approach to understanding and supporting the relationship between your pelvic floor, core, posture, movement and functional strength.
Care begins with assessment. Based on your individual needs, your plan may include pelvic floor treatment, targeted muscle activation, guided movement, progressive strengthening and physiotherapy collaboration or referral when appropriate.
How Core-to-Floor™ May Support You
Pelvic Floor Support
Core Strength & Stability
Individualized & Non-Surgical
How Core-to-Floor™ Works Core-to-Floor™ is not a single device or fixed package.
Your pelvic floor, abdomen, hips, back, breathing and movement patterns work together. Your care plan is therefore based on what your assessment identifies rather than automatically prescribing the same combination of treatments to everyone. When appropriate, treatment may include:
Emsella — a non-invasive, chair-based treatment that uses electromagnetic stimulation to produce repeated pelvic floor muscle contractions. It may be recommended for appropriate pelvic floor concerns.
Emsculpt NEO — uses high-intensity focused electromagnetic energy with radiofrequency and may be incorporated to support targeted muscle activation and strengthening when appropriate.
Treatment may also be supported by guided movement, progressive strengthening, education and reassessment.
Physiotherapy collaboration or referral may be recommended when appropriate.
Important distinction
Emsella is a treatment. Core-to-Floor™ is the broader approach to assessment, education, function and individualized care.

Your assessment helps us understand your symptoms, health history, goals, posture, movement and functional needs.
Assessment findings help guide appropriate next steps and determine whether pelvic floor treatment, targeted muscle activation, guided movement, progressive strengthening, physiotherapy collaboration or other recommended care may be appropriate.
