Our Services
Manual therapy: encompasses the treatment of health ailments of various etiologies through ‘hands-on’, physical intervention. Such physical treatments include massage, soft tissue mobilization, various connective tissue techniques, myofascial release, mobilization of joints, joint manipulation and mobilization of neural tissue. All our therapists received extensive post-graduate training in manual therapy through the Orthopedic Division of Canadian Physiotherapy Association.
Sports injury rehabilitation: the branch of physiotherapy that deals with injuries or illnesses resulting from participation in sports and athletic activities. The goal of successful rehabilitation is a safe return of an athlete to his/her pre-injury sport/activity.
Advanced exercise prescription: a careful selection of specific exercises to reverse the patient’s particular limitation that allowed for an injury to occur in the first place.
Biomechanical analysis: a close look at the mechanics of human motion, looking for optimal and efficient movement with a goal of collecting information to help the patient to reverse those insufficiencies to achieve greater ease with movement.
Electrotherapy: is the use of electrical energy in the treatment of impairments of health, including controlling pain, treating neurological disease and even used to speed up wound healing.
Ultrasound: therapeutic modality that delivers sound waves that transmit energy into the tissues. Physiotherapists use ultrasound to treat inflammation, control pain, help to heal fractures, deliver medication into tissues, break up scar tissue formed after an injury and treat surgical scars.
Acupuncture: can be defined as the practice of inserting needles into specific neurosensitive sites on the body for therapeutic purposes. We practice contemporary (otherwise known as neuro-anatomical/medical) acupuncture. Numerous research has shown that this kind of acupuncture, commonly adopted by the Western practitioners, is capable of causing analgesia (absence of pain), as well as stimulating increase in circulation and neuro-conductivity local to the area(s) being treated.
Massage therapy: Massage involves acting on and manipulating the body with pressure –done manually or with mechanical aids. Target tissues may include muscles, tendons, ligaments, skin, joint capsules, fascia or other connective tissue as well as lymphatic vessels. Out clinic provides therapeutic massage as well as sports massage for a variety of acute or chronic injuries, aches and tension points.
