Physiotherapy Treatments
Effective Physiotherapy treatment starts with a comprehensive physical assessment to identify issues affecting movement and function. It typically involves a thorough examination of strength, flexibility, posture, and pain which allows your physiotherapist to identify the body structures involved in your injury/condition. From there you will receive an individual treatment plan to address your problem. While each physiotherapy treatment is unique to the individual, here are some of the treatment options you can expect to receive as part of your treatment plan in our clinic.
Education
|
Our physiotherapist will offer you clear and easy-to-understand education tailored to your injury or condition. This will cover topics such as an overview of your injury, basic anatomy, healing timelines, pain management, injury prevention, and what to expect during your recovery and treatment.

Vestibular Rehabilitation

Vestibular rehabilitation helps people who have problems with dizziness, balance, or feelings of unsteadiness, secondary to issues in the inner ear or brain.
Depending on the root cause of your symptoms, this treatment can include hands on treatment as well as exercises to strengthening eye control, strengthen gaze stability, improve balance , and decrease sensitivity to environmental stimuli — all of which helps to reduce your dizziness, prevent falls, and help you feel more confident with daily activities. |

Intra-Muscular Stimulation (IMS) and Dry Needling

Dry needling is a therapeutic technique used to relieve pain and muscle tension. It involves inserting thin needles into trigger points or tight muscles to release muscle knots, enhance blood flow, and alleviate discomfort, often resulting in faster recovery and improved mobility.

Manual Therapy
|
Manual therapy are hands-on treatment techniques used by physiotherapists to manipulate and mobilize joints and soft tissues. These aim to reduce pain, improve mobility, and enhance overall function. Techniques may include stretching, joint mobilization, and soft tissue manipulation, tailored to address specific conditions and promote healing.

Electrotherapeutic Modalities
|
Electrotherapeutic Modalities, such as TENS and EMS, work by stimulating nerves to reduce pain, decrease inflammation, and help with movement re-education.
|
Therapeutic Taping
|
Therapeutic taping is a technique used to support muscles and joints, reduce pain, and improve movement. It involves applying specialized adhesive tape to the skin in specific patterns, in order to stabilize injured areas, help with positioning, and facilitate proprioception.
