Physiotherapy is a direct access primary health care profession. Physiotherapists combine in-depth knowledge of how the body works with specialized hands-on clinical skills to assess, diagnose and treat symptoms of illness, injury or disability. 

Chiropractic is an evidence-based, non-invasive, hands-on health care discipline that focuses on disorders of the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. Chiropractors practice primarily using their hands, providing diagnosis, treatment and preventive care for disorders related to the spine, joints, and muscles of the body. 

Dry needling is a form of acupuncture treatment that is most often used to treat muscular and myofascial pain. 

During treatments, an acupuncture needle is inserted through the skin and underlying muscular tissue to release a “trigger point”, or taught band of tissue which is often sensitive and irritable to touch and can cause significant pain and discomfort. 

Massage therapy is the assessment and treatment of the soft tissues of the body. Therapeutic massage is used to prevent dysfunction, to relieve pain, to restore or augment function and to promote health.

Shockwave therapy is a non-invasive treatment that stimulates the body’s natural healing process. It can relieve pain and promote healing of injured tendons, ligaments, and other soft tissues. It accomplishes this by releasing growth factors in the injured tissue. 

Laser therapy uses low level lasers to stimulate tissue and promote healing. It is also known as cold laser therapy or low level laser therapy (LLLT). Laser therapy is FDA-cleared, safe and effective.

Our Physiotherapists will assess you to determine what type of treatment that may be required after a head injury. This can include manual therapy, specialized vestibular therapy, neuromuscular retraining, cognitive therapy or a combination of these.

Osteopathy is a drug-free, noninvasive manual therapy. Osteopaths aim to help improve overall health across all body systems by manipulating and strengthening the musculoskeletal framework.

The treatment encourages your body to heal itself by ensuring that your bones and muscles are aligned and balanced properly.

A custom foot orthotic is a device that can be discreetly inserted into the shoe to support, align, prevent, and/or accommodate foot abnormalities and improve how the foot functions.

Bracing is used for a variety of orthopedic conditions to protect, stabilize and sometimes address abnormal joint alignment.

Bracing can be used for injury prevention or more commonly after an injury such as a sprained ankle. It can also be used to relieve osteoarthritic joints or after surgery.

Therapeutic exercises are movements and physical activities designed to restore function and flexibility, improve strength and decrease pain. 

If you are receiving physical therapy for an injury or a chronic condition, your physical therapist may incorporate therapeutic exercises in your treatment plan.

Ergonomic training is a specialized area of physiotherapy that focuses on designing and arranging workspaces so they fit the people who use them. 

Ergonomic training aims to minimize the risk of injury and illness due to poor posture, repetitive movements, and prolonged sitting or standing.
