We work with you to help relieve pain, regain motion and restore your function. Our expertise in rehabilitation helps us to find solutions for your musculoskeletal pain whether it is from an accident, a repetitive strain or even when the cause is hard to identify. Although addressing an injury early is ideal, we have the experience to work with you whether your condition is chronic, recurrent or of recent onset. Our extensive experience allows us to find solutions when your recovery is complicated by pre-existing issues or co-existing health concerns i.e. neurological conditions, spinal surgery, etc.

The initial assessment is scheduled for one hour to allow sufficient time to thoroughly understand your concerns. Your appointment begins with a discussion of the key factors in your medical history and a lifestyle analysis to pinpoint the cause of the problem and any factors that may influence your healing.

We will assess the area you’re having trouble with and use our expertise to determine if we need to look beyond the local issue and examine other areas that might be contributing to the problem.

We’ll share the results with you and partner with you to design a treatment program specifically tailored to meet your needs and goals. We will help to determine which treatments are beneficial at your stage of recovery and continue to re-evaluate your needs as you move through the continuum towards better health. Follow-up appointments are scheduled for 30 minutes and all sessions are provided in a private, one-on-one setting.

Our treatments may include the more traditional approaches such as ultrasound or interferential therapy as well as state-of-the art approaches such as surface EMG, force dynamometer strength testing and advanced hands-on therapeutic skills.

Manual therapy refers to techniques where a therapist skillfully applies his/her hands to move joints and tissues. These techniques are an integral part of orthopaedic physiotherapy and often compliment exercise in a treatment plan.

The goal of Manual Therapy is to alleviate pain and improve movement and function. These techniques can be extremely gentle or vigorous depending on the stiffness, pain and the stage of healing. Manual therapy can be used to improve movement in both the spine and in the peripheral joints.

Our physios have extensive undergraduate and post-graduate training in Manual Therapy. They are trained by Canadian and International institutions, recognized by the International Federation of Manipulative Physiotherapists (IFOMPT).
